I started my career at the age of 19 by becoming a flight attendant for Malaysia Airlines, which I served for 5 years. After which, I joined the Air Asia X family in 2009, spending a total of 10 years in the aviation industry. During my final year at Air Asia X in 2013, I made my debut in the corporate world by joining the Branding, Events and Communications department as it was always my dream to get my ideas out, creative skills sharpened and my events organizing capabilities realized. Within 6 months, I managed to effectively get my writing skills to work by preparing media releases, pitch story ideas and handle media familiarization trips as well as organized new route launches for Air Asia X.
My experience in digital marketing began when I switched industries and joined a small start-up company which sold beauty products in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. I was tasked to engage the media, as well as create social media content to help boost sales and strengthen the brand name in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. The opportunities grew and I leaped at the chance by joining a small PR and Branding Agency- Mad Hat Asia in early 2015 prior to being a Digital Marketing and Communications consultant for Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur.
