Clarissa first began her fundraising journey after graduation in the arts sector where her passion lies. Through the 4.5 years with National Gallery Singapore and subsequently with Pangdemonium Theatre Company, she was involved in fundraising efforts that drive greater accessibility to the arts.

Fuelled by her commitment to hone the skills needed for fundraising, she decided to move into tertiary advancement work and spend her first year with Nanyang Technological University as a CASE Graduate Trainee. She is excited to take on new challenges in this fresh environment and learn how to navigate the layers within an educational institution to help drive collaborations between teams and help prospects discover their affinity and purpose with the institution.
