What are your favorite pastimes?
"I enjoy a good absorbing read, looking for good food and good coffee places, cooking and cleaning (it was my way of de-stressing during finals when I was in school), spending time with my dogs when I’m back home in Singapore, going to and being in the theatre. "
If you could be a cartoon character, who would you be?
"I would be Wile E. Coyote – he’s a really smart and innovative chap, but unfortunately keeps getting beaten by a bird that really just runs around really fast. I'd make it my life goal to finally get that bird."
You are trapped on an island. What three items do you want to have with you?
"A paperclip, a piece of wire or string, a cell battery, and hopefully some way of channeling MacGyver’s genius."
Do you have any uncommon talents or quirks?
"I do a pretty good imitation of Barney the Purple Dinosaur."
What brings you to VSA?
"I recently graduated from the Arts in Education Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and wanted to spend the summer applying my learning from the year in a practical way. I'm interested in the interaction between the arts and various pockets of community, and wanted to be in an environment where I could see this in action. I also wanted to experience the ins and outs of working in an arts non-profit - a valuable learning experience for future (ad)ventures! "
What are you doing during your internship?
"I will be helping with VSA's communications and social media strategy, writing and compiling final year reports, as well as helping with other ad hoc projects, such as working with Open Door Gallery artists."
