About Me

Driven by a desire to shift dynamics, I am constantly evolving and focused on creating impact. As an entrepreneur with expertise across learning & development, media, communication, and education, my passion extends into wellness, learning, writing, and travel. I am inspired by nature and the indomitable human spirit.

My Belief

I believe that abundance is our true nature and life’s challenges are like waves beckoning us to surf.  Through personal development, we can unleash our potency to redefine circumstances and create magnificent, fulfilling lives driven by purpose and value.

My life is my Narrative

At the young age of 10 years, I was told that I would never amount to much. I was labelled a vernacular student as I was not fluent in English. Others wrote the narrative for me which i believed. It took me a while to realize that I have the power to shift the narrative. Eager to become the hero in my own life story, I quickly embarked on my journey of personal development to create the person I am today.

I began my professional journey while still pursuing my education, stepping into the luxury industry before transitioning into media as an Experiential Specialist. A pivotal milestone in my career came when I contributed to the corporate identity design and implementation for the iconic TATA brand.

In 2000, I co-founded Ice Global, an experiential brand communication agency. Today,  we have a diverse portfolio with a global footprint and we specialize in corporate experiences, digital technology, video production, luxury and lifestyle events, and large-format experiences.

My Purpose

In my life’s journey, I have learnt to tap into the potent power of personal success and it is my life’s mission to enable those seeking to redefine circumstances with the right tools and mindset for transformation. Personal development is the gateway to success in all areas of our lives and I am an eager confidante, coach and mentor to those who choose to embark on this journey.
