Manager, Environment Sustainability EDB Scholar (2012)
University of Chicago, B (Mathematics) & University

“I had taken on the EDB scholarship on the promise of a meaningful career, but have been enriched by far more than that. From the early opportunity to learn about EDB’s global work through an internship with the Frankfurt office, to the guidance provided by nurturing mentors in the organization, I am grateful for always being engaged by the people and work even throughout my schooling days. EDB is unique in its deep commitment towards developing its scholars, and I have benefited massively from it."
NUS, BSocSci Geography Agrifood Intern (2019) Associate (2020)
"During my internship, I joined the EDB Agri-Food team to study a very interesting source of alternative proteins – insects! As part of my project, I spoke with companies to identify economic opportunities for Singapore in the insect farming industry."
"Fast forward a few years, it’s exciting to see the progress that has been made – with the Singapore Food Agency looking to approve edible insects for human consumption. As an intern, I felt like I was working on meaningful projects that had direct implications on EDB’s strategy for new growth areas."
Associate (2021) Senior Associate, Chemicals & Materials
"It was naturally quite nerve-wracking to join EDB as a fresh graduate, given the stellar reputation that it had built up over the years for delivering good jobs to Singaporeans. The Associate Programme was very useful to initiate me into the culture and intricacies of working in such a driven and fast-paced organization, and I had a great time learning not just on-the job during my division attachments but also from my peers during the Associate bootcamp. Even after completing the Associate Programme, it was heartening to know that no matter the challenges faced, you could always rely on your batchmates in other divisions who stood ready to share their diverse experiences and lend a helping hand. Such friendships and camaraderie are what keep me going in EDB today."
