Hi I'm Wesley! I believe in the power of mentorship as a vital means to transfer information and as a vehicle to benefit others (specifically youths!). As such, I believe that the fields of consulting and venture capital/private equity epitomise this ideal - providing timely advice to corporates and aspiring entrepreneurs and helping them scale upwards, creating value and good jobs. Specifically, I am intrigued by the nexus between government and businesses and how public-private partnerships can be fostered.

Currently, I am serving my National Service assisting in leadership succession as part of SAFTI Military Institute, and I help to link student founders to VCs through my work in Reactor School. Aligned with an ethos of mentorship, I volunteer in various domains to maximise impact and empower youths. Through volunteering in Sealed for Success, SGExams and the ASEAN Youth Organisation Executive Committees, I hope to be able to link youths to mentors - be it in their careers or their personal lives. I recently co-founded Consultation Corner, a pro-bono academic consultation service. Through serving and gaining experience in various organisations, I hope to be able to create tangible value while better understanding the intersection between business and politics.

I will tentatively be reading Law & Business in NUS in 2022. As an aspiring expert-generalist, I am constantly hungry (literally and figuratively) and looking for new experiences in various fields and countries. I look forward to gaining exposure in different industries, be it in management consulting, public service or in the vibrant startup scene.
