Overview

With a background in business and education, I bring a thoughtful and well-researched approach to guiding. Rediscovering my fascination with Singapore’s culture and history inspired me to become a licensed Singapore Tourist Guide. I conduct heritage walking tours that explore Singapore’s colonial beginnings and its journey towards a vibrant multicultural landscape. My tours highlight the stories, architecture, and communities that shaped the nation, offering visitors a deeper understanding of how Singapore evolved into the dynamic city it is today. Passionate about creating meaningful and engaging experiences, I strive to make every walk informative, enjoyable, and memorable.
