She was the Subject Head of Literature and Language Arts in Temasek Junior College until 2015 when she took a sabbatical to pursue her Masters in English Education at University College London. This gave her the opportunity to reflect on her own teaching while exploring various research interests, including reading pedagogy and assessment, teachers' constructs of reading, and the value of drama and creative work in teaching Literature. She is the co-author of the Lower Secondary teaching guide Local Anaesthetic: A Painless Approach to Singaporean Poetry (Ethos, 2014).
