Bio
Wen Bin Chong (Faith)
I had the privilege of working alongside Akriti, during her 6-month volunteering stint in Skillseed, a local social enterprise that designs and facilitates themed learning experiences to create social impact. As an experienced social development professional, she brought her wealth of experiences to our team at Skillseed, researching and writing thought leadership articles in the areas of Social Innovation, Community Engagement and Environmental Social Governance (ESG). The intentionality and thoughtfulness from every piece of her work really shines through, and I'm grateful that many of our Skillseed followers have benefitted from the knowledge and perspectives she shared in her articles. In addition, Akriti also supported our Business Development team in the research of possible corporate partners. We really appreciated her efforts to research and recommend like-minded partners who would complement and support the work we do at Skillseed. On behalf of Team Skillseed, thank you once again, Akriti - for your hard (and heart) work during your volunteering stint with us. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours and we count it a privilege that our paths crossed. She would be an asset to any company or organisation with her corporate experience, her relationality as well as her hardworking attitude towards any given task.
