A Bit About Me

Stephanie is currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and Art History at Nanyang Technological University. She graduated with a Diploma with Distinction in Arts Management at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) in 2025.

 

Her academic achievements at NAFA include the Dean’s List Award, the NAFA Talent Development Award and topping her cohort for three modules: Arts Venues Management, Digital Skills 2, and Understanding Literary Arts. She is also a recipient of the Tan Chay Bing Scholarship (AY24/25) and Merit Award (AY23/24).

 

Stephanie is passionate about art, history, and literature, and is an avid consumer of all three! She has great aspirations of becoming a curator and is looking to gain more experience through working in the arts industry. Her current endeavours include being a visual arts educator for children aged 3-12 years at ARRT.INC Studio, where she teaches her students how to dabble with different art mediums, as well as regularly volunteering for various community arts programmes and events.

 

During her free time, Stephanie immerses herself in volunteer work, often for arts events and activities. Through the spirit of volunteerism, she believes in giving back to the community and spreading her love for art. Some notable events Stephanie has volunteered for include the Singapore Writers Festival, Affordable Art Fair, Esplanade March On, and the Singapore Biennale. She also enjoys travelling, reading discussions on various topics, visiting galleries, attending events, and watching performances.
