"I graduated as a Registered Nurse and I worked mostly with Neurosurgical patients. Over time, I was inspired to embark on a clinical research career as I felt that evidence-based practice has become increasingly important in the search for a cure. 

Through several years I have actively pursued my research interests in the Department of Neurology, playing the role of an administrator, advocate, educator and facilitator. I have been especially fortunately to have the constant guidance and advice provided by my reporting officer, A/Prof Louis Tan, and all the help rendered to me by my colleagues in NNI. 

As a research administrator, I hope to find important clues to solve basic problems that affects the quality of research outcomes. Simply put, we need to 'know-it-all, know first and be all-rounder'. Just like James D. Watson said, 'The most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe'."
