I am working as a Consultant Urogynaecologist in KK Women's and Children’s Hospital, Singapore after graduating from my fellowship in 2020. I am also a core faculty member for the PGY1 Residency Programme and serve as an Assistant Professor in both Dukes-NUS and LKC-Imperial Medical School, Singapore.

When and why did you decide to join IUGA?

I discovered my passion for Urogynaecology during my rotation in the Residency program. The first step I took to materialize my passion to reality was to join IUGA in 2014. IUGA provided me a platform to connect with global experts and shares ideas with like-minded people from around the world. Moreover, I could access a large variety of online resources.

What has been your most rewarding or memorable IUGA experience?

IUGA 2019 The Hague, The Netherlands. Despite facing challenges with the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic, my video presentation under the guidance of my mentor Dr Salwan, RWH, Melbourne, Australia was selected under the best video category. It was such a surreal moment for me.

What is the last book you read or movie you saw? Would you recommend it?

Movie: The Elephant Whisperers. Amazing story of unlikely heroes - a simple couple who have devoted their life to looking after elephants. Truly inspirational!!

What are your hobbies? What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Reading, travelling and spending time with family

What is one "fun fact" about you?

Learning Fibonacci sequence from my elementary school son :):)
