My name is Serene and I have been with IWFCIS for some time. I work full time for an MNC and serve in IWFCIS to connect with other professionals and entrepreneurs. This is such a great group to be with, to learn and to grow together. While considering and pondering on my next stage, I can leverage on the connections this platform offers, which is to say it is not just local but overseas with the sister chapters as well.

With a background spanning over two decades in event planning and project execution across Asia, I’ve managed everything from large-scale corporate events to international forums and community showcases.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I made a pivotal career shift—upskilling in digital marketing and earning certifications including Digital Event Strategist (PCMA), ICAgile Coaching and Agile Marketing, and Advanced Training & Assessment (ACTA).

This transition allowed me to merge my experience in live events with the fast-evolving world of digital platforms. Today, I bring this combined expertise to support the association in my role as Ex-Co-member (2024–2026), where I oversee and manage our social media channels.
