Centre for Cognitive
Technologies Pty Ltd

UWA's Psychology program is rigorous, well balanced, and prepares its students well for a career in psychology.

It has the reputation of being the best in the region, and I feel honoured to have received my education and professional training at such a prestigious university.

One of the most important lessons I gained at UWA was that learning is a life long pursuit. The professors did not just teach text book contents, they helped us to grow as independent learners, prodding us to think, ask questions, push the limits and not be afraid to make mistakes. 

I now own my own company with a few partners. The Centre for Cognitive Technologies in Singapore is a regional research and training centre. As CEO, I am responsible for both its strategic directions and its day-to-day operations. The opportunities for creative development and expression are highly stimulating both mentally and emotionally.
