Ms Clara Sim
Clara assists Peiyi and the team in the administrative needs of the job, mainly coordinating meetings and doing ad-hoc research on whatever needs help!
She is a stay-home-mother with 2 active boys who enjoy their screen time as much as their Mummy enjoys her TV time. When she is not working or doing the housework, you can find her in front of her TV catching up on dramas. She also loves reading thriller novels and will sometimes get so absorbed in the stories that she would lose track of time.
so excited that to participate in this community project and looks forward to working together with the team to achieve the goal we have set out to accomplish – to develop practical solutions in a creative manner!
