"At a time when we are all struggling the most, both personally and professionally, there is no better time to be collaborating together for the benefit of everyone involved.

"I'm truly honoured and grateful to be included in this inspiring group of leaders to support the Singapore fitness industry under the newly established Singapore Fitness Alliance.

"As a woman on the board I look forward to positively representing women in the fitness industry too."
