“I lead a small team of workplace consultants at a real-estate company. As leaders, we often have an oversight when it comes to the details of day-to-day happenings, so I try to be sensitive and open to the team, treating them as collaborators and involving them in key decisions.”

“I have a two-year-old son and a baby on the way. Being a father means that life is no longer about what I want but what my children need. I really have to pay close attention to our finances now because everything is so expensive these days! But whatever it is, I’ll try to do what’s best for my children.”

“I wanted to be a designer when I was younger and stumbled upon a career in architecture. I love that the industry is so dynamic. Even after 10 years in this field, I’m still learning something new everyday and no two projects are the same.”

“Financial Consultancy was never a career I foresaw myself pursuing. It was a huge leap of faith on my part because I’ve always been unconfident and shy, but as the sole breadwinner of the family, I saw the need to step up and provide for the people who matter to me, and I’ve since grown to love what I do.”

“Since moving out, I’ve learnt that it takes a lot of intentional effort to maintain a home. When I lived with my parents, everything ran so smoothly and I never noticed the consistency needed to keep the house running. Even when I was living in hall or abroad on exchange, it always felt temporary, plus I was only in charge of a much smaller space, so living independently in an actual home is quite a change.”

“I’m 61 years old and grandmother of a pair of three-year-old twins, but I’m still currently working as a civil servant, and I love to exercise and keep fit. In fact, I picked up weightlifting exactly a year ago, and now, I can deadlift 95kg, which surprised me.”

“One of my goals is to make more money so that I can be happier doing the things that I want and love. I also hope to relocate every couple of years with my partner in the near future—anywhere with decent coffee and pasta.”

“Many of the heroes in anime shows that I like are unstoppable because of their drive and passion. That’s what inspires me as well!”

“I hope to build on my knowledge and accumulate more wealth so that I can spend it when I travel.”

“I realise you can always be a better version of yourself. You're still yourself, just better.”

“I read voraciously as a young girl because we didn’t have a TV: I loved reading about dinosaurs, space, and ancient civilisations.”

“I love baking—I usually try to bake for my friends’ birthdays, because it’s always a little more personal when you make it yourself.”
