"Following months of careful consideration, it was my gut feeling that made me take that leap of faith...I decided to leave the comfort & security of the corporate lifestyle to pursue my greater passion for fitness and food."

Previously a marketer for a global FMCG company, I decided to leave the comfort & security of the corporate lifestyle to pursue my greater passion for fitness and food. Today, I’m a full-time granola mama at The Kettlebowl, a humble startup focused on the synergy between my two greatest passions. We’re a healthy snack company with a mission to help Malaysians adopt a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

In terms of fitness, my goal as a Crossfit athlete is to participate in more competitions outside of Malaysia. In my past 2 years as a competitive Crossfitter, I’ve joined 10 competitions so far, all of which have taught me unique lessons in becoming a better athlete. Aside from training and competitions, I also run classes at District 13 (Crossfit FMA) and HIIT2FIT. It is absolutely fulfilling to help people find better versions of themselves through fitness!

I hope that my story would serve as motivation to all you ladies in #TEAMBUSYWOMAN - you should not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone once in awhile! Following months of careful consideration, it was my gut feeling that made me take that leap of faith for The Kettlebowl. You know what they say, “better to trust a woman’s instinct than a man’s reason” aye? ;)
