She is proficient in disease prevention and health promotion for the general public, disease management, and medical nutrition therapy.

Her areas of practice include community, clinical, and foodservice dietetics. She assesses and identi- fies nutritional issues, applies skills in medical nutrition therapy, and counsel patients on individual- ised diet and lifestyle modifications. From her previous experience, she has conducted a focus group discussion on weight management, conducted a webinar ‘Fat Facts for Heart-Healthy Diet: Love It, Limit It, Lose It’, analysed nutrients and designed diseases-based recipes, presented her research poster in the MDA 26th National Conference and was involved in the pilot test of the supper club, Project Aliquot, for the university.

She has always believed in the principle of “Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food’

— as quoted by Greek physician Hippocrates. From this, she is passionate about assisting people to achieve better nutrition status and delivering evidence-based nutrition messages to the public to improve the quality and healthy well-being of the community.
