My experience

In year 2025's first semester, I was teaching Elementary Math (Secondary 3 G3) and Additional Math (Secondary 3 G3 and IP3) in Cedar Girls' Secondary School. Previously taught H2 Math (and H1 Math in a few of the years) as a flexi-adjunct teacher in Anglo-Chinese Junior College (Feb 2022 to May 2023, Jul to Nov 2019 and Jul 2012 to Nov 2013), National Junior College (Mar 2014 to May 2016) and Anderson Junior College (Feb to Nov 2018) and was a permanent teacher in Serangoon Junior College (Jan 2006 to Dec 2007).

I also analysed statistics for two projects as a Senior Executive with Ministry of Home Affairs (Feb to Apr 2012), worked as a cybersecurity analyst for NCS Singapore via a contractor (Nov 2023 to Sep 2024) and taught percussion in Raffles Girls' School Chinese Orchestra (Apr 2000 to Jul 2002).
