After finishing University in Australia, I headed to Singapore to work in the TV Industry and spent the next eight years creating and writing sitcoms, sketch comedy shows and infotainment programmes, winning three Asian Television Awards, and a bronze medal for sitcom at the New York Film Festival.

In 2002, I began writing more regularly for print, contributing features to Singapore's English daily, The Straits Times; to large circulation women's magazines and other publications such as a Buddhist lifestyle publication.
I also edited a newsletter, and the translation of a coffee table book from German into English. That year, I also put my Librarianship qualification to use and joined Singapore's National Library Board, as part of the team tasked with setting up the region's first performing arts library, the library@esplanade. Here, I also wrote for a wide variety of purposes and audiences - from weekly reader's advisories, to the copy for a year-long library exhibition, to articles in widely disseminated library publications.

Since 2005, I've been working for Singapore's new national library, creating innovative public programmes and publications; and providing research & information packaging services for the library's paying customers. I am also completing an ongoing teacher training programme at Diamond Mountain Buddhist University in Arizona, USA, where I also edit transcriptions of talks, compile newsletters, and write articles and press releases for University events. So whether it be features, press releases, newsletters, brochures & reports; scripts for radio or TV; or editing and proof-reading, I've done and continue to do it all.
