I had an article successfully published in the Singapore newspaper The Strait Times, which motivated me further and has given me the confidence to reach out to high-profile magazines in the future. I believe I can capitalise on my strength as a bilingual writer, tapping into trans-cultural issues, which will gain more momentum in an increasingly globalised world.
