Growing up, I always enjoyed reading and writing. When I was in Junior College, I had decided that going into journalism was my natural calling. Perspective changed in the final year of junior college and I went to University reading law instead. At University, I found that I enjoyed studying law. It showed me that in any given situation, there are always two sides to a coin and that there are more than a million shades of grey in between the black and white.

I started my legal career as a civil litigator for eight years, thrown into a world of legal disputes, lawsuits and Court trials. After taking a break to have my son, I returned to the legal field with renewed interest, starting a law firm with my friend Grace. As a newly set up law firm, I took on pro bono work with the Legal Aid Bureau and the Family Service Centre, dealing with family-related work. While civil litigation had taught me to look beneath the hard stand people take for what matters the most to them, my hiatus had allowed me to take on a different perspective to life and become more attuned to the needs of parents, children and family lives around me.
