Balancing multiple roles is challenging enough. But reinventing your career while managing a portfolio of responsibilities? That takes determination.
For Faith Hung Lin Lin, a Singapore-based Education Specialist, Wealth Planner, and Diplomat, learning has always been a priority. With a career spanning finance, education, and international relations, she knew that staying relevant meant continuously evolving. That led her to take on her next big challenge–Data Science.
Enhancing Her Expertise with Data-Driven Strategies
With years of experience in wealth planning and education, Faith had established herself as a leader in these fields. As a Goodwill Ambassador for Singapore (Diplomat) and Chairperson of the Women’s Wing International, she had spent years navigating global relations and financial strategies. However, with industries becoming more data-driven, she realized that understanding data science and business analytics wasn’t just an advantage but a necessity.
That’s when she enrolled in the Post Graduate Program in Data Science and Business Analytics. The experience wasn’t just about picking up a new skill; it was about expanding her perspective and applying data-driven insights to her existing expertise.
“This program reassured me of my resilience. It built my confidence and sparked a new learning journey, pushing me to explore other programs,” she shares.
Global Recognition and Influence
Faith’s commitment to learning and leadership has earned her recognition on a global scale.
She was recently awarded a verified checkmark on LinkedIn as an expert contributor in education and event planning. Her achievements also include the Awards for Excellence, Global Woman Leader recognition, a State Award, and an international education award–each highlighting her significant contributions to diplomacy, education, and leadership.
Why Women Must Keep Learning
Faith sees upskilling as more than just career advancement–it’s about staying relevant and resilient in an unpredictable world.
She compares it to the boiling frog fable–if you don’t recognize the need for change, you might find yourself stuck in outdated ways of thinking. Instead, she encourages women to be proactive and take charge of their growth.
Her advice? Embrace lifelong learning, build strong networks, and develop critical thinking and technological skills–these will be the defining factors in future workplaces.
“Women bring unique strengths to leadership–empathy, resilience, and adaptability. But we need to ensure we have the skills to match. The future belongs to those who keep learning,” she says.
Empowering Professionals Through Mentorship and Lifelong Learning
Faith’s journey didn’t just reshape her career; it reinforced her commitment to helping others grow.
Now, she’s focused on mentoring and inspiring professionals to embrace upskilling, challenge societal expectations, and drive meaningful change.
“If my story encourages even one person to step out of their comfort zone and invest in learning, then every challenge I faced was worth it.”
Because at the end of the day, knowledge isn’t just a career tool; it’s the foundation for long-term success.
