From a gold medalist, into a Train Project Manager. Best turn of event

However, my focus on safety is paramount; I ensure rigorous safety analysis, testing, quality checks are adhered to safeguard passengers as the end user.
Through proactive communication and diligent planning, I navigate challenges that arise, ensuring that any potential issues are swiftly addressed.

Gold medalist, subject matter expert, future management programme
At just over 5 feet 3 inches, I was often the only petite woman in a male-dominated work environment.
From day one in the railway industry, I strive to become a better version of myself and make a name for myself—V. I successfully completed high-profile projects related to train delivery and actively contributed to fostering a positive company culture.
I was honoured to be selected for Alstom's esteemed Future Management Program and recognised as a Diversity and Inclusion Champion for Malaysia, now serving as an Ambassador through the New Insiders initiative.
Being the person who wears multiple hats within the company underscores my belief that all efforts and contributions are acknowledged and valued. This journey has fuelled my passion and commitment to excellence in the industry.
