Getting to Know ...

Genevieve Ng

Profession:
An accounting, finance & HR practitioner.

Background:
I graduated from Curtin University Of Technology in 1991, obtained my CPA from CPA Australia in 1995, graduated with a Master of Business Administration from University Of Western Australia in 1996 and obtained my Fellow of FINSIA in 2005.

Interests/Hobbies:
I read widely, ponder deeply and analyse topics of interest. Helping youth and young adult to realise their untap potential to give their best in their studies and life with hard work and no short cut. Motivating myself to get off the couch to exercise. And volunteer my time to de-stigmatise mental health, which is a turn off conversation topic for many in our society.

Favourite Haunt in Singapore
No particular specific haunt in Singapore though I tend to laze around my neighbourhood in the eastside of Singapore during weekends and public holidays.

Interesting fact
A woman of contradiction. Whilst I strive for work life balance, I usually would not refuse challenging tasks. And kind friends would advise me against burnout.
