About Me

My career began at HSBC Bank after university, where a Financial Advisor reshaped my perspective on helping clients. I realised the transformative power of financial advice went beyond short-term goals like home renovations, holidays, or buying a car. The profound impact on families fascinated me.

After two years, I transitioned into stockbroking, a field I remained in for the next seven years. This period, though challenging, enlightened me about the stock market, trading, and risk management. The mistakes I made were valuable lessons that guided me in safeguarding my family's future and helping others do the same.

In 2017, I finally returned to financial advice, now within the realm of 'Wealth Management.' To me, this term signifies a realm of possibilities. Since then, my mission has been to demystify wealth management, making it accessible to everyone. It's not just about passing down money; it's about passing down true wealth—knowledge.

Let's connect and explore how this wealth of knowledge can empower you.

“Financial Planning is about where you are today and where you want to be in the future”
