The inner passion in education drove me to join government primary school back in Malaysia. That experience combined with tutoring for about 2 years, it was very much valuable to me and inspired me to continue pursue my dream in education even though it was set aside for more than a decade.

During mid-career switch, I joined the current preschool centre as L2 Chinese Educator back in 2021, actively participate in different classes and engaging with parents. In 2022, I have assisted in SPARK application and certification process and successfully passed. With experience working with children from 2 to 16 years old, I am able to apply what I've learn in SignPosts back in 2016 for better behaviour and classroom management.

I believed in all these experiences added up would allow me to bring more value in process.
