I help working professionals in Singapore build meaningful careers and balanced lives.

It started with a simple observation. Rachel was working as a corporate trainer at a multinational financial services firm, delivering standard compliance and skills courses to high-performing professionals. The material was solid. The trainers were competent. But something was missing.

“I noticed that many of our best employees were struggling,” Rachel recalls. “They’d excelled at their jobs, earned promotions, hit targets — but they were burned out. They didn’t know how to manage their energy, set boundaries, or plan for meaningful career growth beyond the next bonus.” The training world wasn’t equipped to address these deeper challenges. It was transactional, not transformational.

That realization led her to pursue a Master’s degree in Education from the National University of Singapore, focusing on adult learning psychology and behavioral change. She wanted to understand not just how people learn skills, but why people struggle to apply them, and what actually drives lasting change.

Her thesis research became her blueprint. She interviewed working professionals across banking, healthcare, technology, and retail sectors. The patterns were clear: people don’t fail because they lack information. They fail because training doesn’t account for their real lives — their time constraints, competing priorities, and deeply embedded habits. “That’s when I realized the courses we were building weren’t wrong,” she says. “They were just incomplete.”

After completing her degree, Rachel moved to the Institute of Adult Learning Singapore, where she spent years developing training frameworks aligned with national education initiatives. This is where she learned to bridge the gap between policy requirements and human reality. SkillsFuture wasn’t just about funding — it was about giving Singaporeans real tools for career resilience in a rapidly changing economy.

Now, as Head of Curriculum Development at GrowthPath Academy, Rachel brings everything together. She designs courses that work. Not because they’re flashy or trendy, but because they’re built on what actually changes behavior, what fits into real schedules, and what delivers measurable outcomes for mid-career professionals who can’t afford to waste time on surface-level training.
