As an 18-year-old teenager with special needs, Azimah Azman is often described as a "breath of fresh air" who is well loved by all her teachers, peers, family members and friends. She is excited to be back in the vocation class at Ballston Spa High School after graduating in June 2024.

After being on a hiatus for many months, Azimah is excited to be back behind the microphones as a podcast co-host/voice actress.

WHAT inspired ASKtrioWello and ASK Trio About Wellness podcast? WHY?

SYAZANA and her family relocated from Singapore to New York's Capital Region in January 2015. They transit in Dresden, Germany and stayed in several hotels for a month in December 2014. Other than Dresden, they travelled to Munich, Berlin and toured Prague, Czech as well as Austria on road trips. Plenty of beautiful memories were created during the month-long stay and later in New York. They met many amazing individuals and families from different nationalities and cultural backgrounds, many of whom are kind-hearted and had extended a helping hand to make it easy for the family to integrate and adapt to the new environment. Moreover, environmental scanning and research on current trends affecting business opportunities during the global health pandemic triggered by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has further inspired Syazana to embark on a solution focused edutainment business in the health and wellness industry to help educate, regenerate and elevate family institutions through optimal productivity and lifelong wellness.

Leveraging on her vast working and volunteer experience in Singapore and New York, top character strengths, talent and personality, Syazana conceptualized a podcast-centered business that offers solutions to families in need of a fun, light-hearted and productive way to cope with the daily struggles of life via online learning in productivity and wellness education for families around the world. 

ASKtrioWello is on the lookout to collaborate with individuals, groups or companies passionate about educating, regenerating and elevating family institutions through optimal productivity and wellness education.
