“I had to do what it took to retain the excitement and interest in their education. And during the lockdown, my journey on TikTok took off.

“I modified my approach to educating not only my students but Malaysians at large,” said Norhailmi, a school science teacher.

Cheryl Ann Fernando is the CEO of Pemimpin GSL. Her organisation empower school leaders to lead positive school transformation.

According to her, signing up with Teach for Malaysia gave her a new perspective on education.

“Teaching English in a rural secondary school led me to bigger ventures in education. 

“For me, it all starts with the educators, and that is where my mission is at,” said Cheryl.

CEO & Founder of FatHopes Energy Vinesh Sinha was one of the award recipients of Forbes 30 Under 30 in Asia in 2018. 

“My adventure started with the science of taking oil waste from food industries and transforming them into biofuels to reduce carbon emissions. 

“I hope this would inspire the next group of individuals to thrive in the STEM space,” said Vinesh.

Meanwhile, the journey for Certified Holistic Nutritionist Roycie Wong started differently.
