What I work on

Most of my work is at the Singapore Association for the Deaf, where I'm Project Lead and Senior Sign Language Interpreter in the accessibility team, since April 2025. Before that I was Project and Community Initiatives Manager, from April 2024.

Work at SADeaf is a team effort, and I've tried to be clear about my part in it.

Project lead

Video Relay Service

SADeaf's Video Relay Service lets Deaf people make phone calls through a sign language interpreter over video. I led its pilot and public launch, and manage its day-to-day operations and reporting to funders.

Interpreter Training Programme
I lead and mentor in SADeaf's 10-week programme for new interpreters, with a focus on skills like classifiers and role shift rather than vocabulary alone.
SgSL in technology
I coordinated SADeaf's partnership with FingerDance, a Singapore start-up building Singapore Sign Language into its AI sign language assistant.
Interpreting
I interpret in a range of community settings, in person and remotely.

Arts and culture

Interpreting, audio description and creative captioning for performances and exhibitions. Organisations I've worked with include:

Singapore Repertory Theatre
Esplanade
ART:DIS
Access Path Productions
National Gallery Singapore
Singapore Art Museum

Stage and public events

Coldplay, 2024

Interpreted six nights of the Music of the Spheres World Tour at the National Stadium as part of a three-person interpreting team. One interpreter signed the lyrics while another carried the instruments, rhythm and mood. Deaf artists supported the team's preparation.
