I have been developing and conducting heritage trails under Tapestry Trails www.facebook.com/tapestrytrails. I am also an STB licensed guide and a polytechnic lecturer. I love to research and share stories from everyday SG neighbourhoods to help people connect with the past. I aim to make history alive and draw upon collective memories of SG to spark conversations.
