About

I am a dedicated leader in social development, currently serving as the Assistant Managing Director (Welfare & Social Development Services) at Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah.

My career is defined by a commitment to bridging the gap between policy and community impact, ensuring that social interventions address both immediate needs and long-term sustainability.

From 2017 to 2022, I had the honour of serving as a Member of the Brunei Legislative Council. During this tenure, I focused on advancing youth leadership, community engagement, and civic responsibility.

My professional journey spans the public, private, and diplomatic sectors, including roles as:
- Stakeholder Relations Officer at Brunei Methanol Company (CSR & Community Engagement).
- Alumni Coordinator at the U.S. Embassy BSB (Driving the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative - YSEALI, and exchange programs alumni).
- Youth & Sports Officer at the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sports.
- Teacher, Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah School.

My work with various youth programs has focused on empowering individuals to become active contributors to their communities. My work on youth in development works spanned from scouting, youth mosque, and NGO movement.

I believe in the power of global and local networking to solve local challenges. I have represented Brunei at the One Young World Congress, YSEALI, ASEAN Youth Forum, and CSCLeaders.

My dedication to service has been recognised through several prestigious honours:
- P.S.B (Bintang Kebesaran Darjah Setia Negara Brunei Yang Amat Bahagia, Darjah Keempat)
- P.I.K.B (Excellent Service Medal)
- ASEAN Youth Award
