Estelle’s journey with the arts started accidentally when her mother enrolled her 6-year-old self in a group electone class. Since then, she has gone on to learn the electronic keyboard and the piano and has sung with various choirs. Having benefited from the power that the arts have in individual expression and transformation, she is humbled to be a part of The Red Pencil (Singapore). Prior to her current role, the National University of Singapore Sociology graduate worked in the arts and cultural sector as a producer and arts manager.

Since 2015, her weekends are spent with non-auditioned community choir Vox Camerata as a Soprano Section Leader where she guides members in their journeys of self-discovery through their voices.
