LEARNING NEVER ENDS.

Throughout my nearly-decade long career as a civil servant (pharmacist) in Sabah and Selangor, I've gained hands-on experience in organising state and national events, inventory management, clinical pharmacy, DIS and outpatient pharmacy. As a former EXCO member of the Sabah Pharmaceutical Society, I also spearheaded medical outreach programmes, involving multidisciplinary teams.

Driven by my passion for continual self-growth, I  yearn to explore other niches. I currently write (or rather, ghostwrite, 👻 pun intended) A LOT - from manuscripts, emailers, medical deck to ad board meeting minutes and medical-related video scripts. You name it.

Occasionally, I build funnels (digital marketing) to drive engagement and conversions for clients. As a certified funnel builder, I'm equipped with SEO knowledge, which allows me to leverage it in my medical writing.
