About Me
Hello! I am Charlene, an undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Sociology at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Previously, I graduated with a Diploma in Arts Business Management from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore.
My experiences in the past three years have greatly shaped me into who I am today. During my internship at the Singapore Book Council, I was involved heavily in both marketing and public relations which honed my skills in designing and communications. Through various volunteering experiences with both performing and visual art organisations, I also gained valuable insights into the operations of arts organisations in Singapore and the importance of engaging audiences.
“The principle of true art is not to portray but to evoke,” Jerzy Kosiński's quote resonated deeply in me. As an artist myself, I believe there is no greater achievement than knowing that your work has made an impact on someone else. I believe that with my knowledge and skillsets, I am able to harness them to assist artists in the delivery of their work to the audience. My goal is to further contribute to the arts industry in Singapore.

VALUES
I value working in an environment where I am able to be safe and creative in my work and with a work-life balance. On a personal level, I value my friends, responsibility and hope to grow into a confident and creative individual.
PHILOSOPHY
I strongly believe that art can be used to make a difference in our society. Using art as a medium of communication, a society where one acknowledges and accepts differences and exchanges meaningful experiences can be created. As an artist and art business manager, I hope to create such opportunities and slowly make a difference in our society.
INTEREST
I have a strong passion for multiple art forms, being a dancer and musician myself. In my pastime, I also indulge myself in art jamming and photography to destress. In addition, my love for travelling makes me open to new experiences and adventures.
