Nov 2013 - Mar 2016:
Features Writer, Associate Web Editor and later, freelance writer, Elle Malaysia magazine
I was a member of the inaugural editorial team which launched the Malaysian edition of Elle magazine in Kuala Lumpur. I served first as Features Writer, contributing articles to the features, beauty, health & wellbeing, luxury fashion, and culture & lifestyle sections of the magazine. I later also served as Associate Web Editor for the associated website. The publisher has since decided to close this title.

I have written and edited for various print publications, PR agencies and organisations in Kuala Lumpur including:

I was part of a 3-person research team led by Malaysian historian Prof. Khoo Kay Kim and former Political Secretary to Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Mathias Chang, to conduct historical research in support of the proposed biography.
2004:
Journalist, The Star newspaper (Malaysia)
As well as covering education news stories and events, I mostly wrote features about Malaysian private higher education institutions, graduate career pathways and student profiles. I also went on to freelance for the newspaper’s culture and lifestyle desks.
