Debbie holds a Joint European Master’s Degree in International Humanitarian Action, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Systems Analysis, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting. She is a Chartered Accountant of Singapore and a Certified Project Management Professional with PMI.

She is an experienced professional in a diversity of roles - in policies, operations, finance, HR, ICT, project management, and business analysis.

Being a global citizen, she has lived and worked in five different countries on three continents – Asia, Europe, and North America. She has served in leadership capacities in the United Nations in various settings, including a scientific agency, an international court, and the UNHQ. She also has years of corporate experience, including more than a decade with IBM Asia Pacific.

She wants to make a difference in the world by serving and advocating for the poor, the marginalized, and the most vulnerable. Her ministry has taken her to the refugee settlement in North Uganda, the hill tribes of Thailand, and the prison cells and drug rehabilitation centers of Singapore.

She enjoys meeting people from different countries, and her passion is to understand and learn from the world's different cultures. She loves the challenge of navigating a place whose customs and practices are very different from her own. She concludes that despite our differences, we are all the same in one way – all of us are made in the image of God. She will bring a tremendous amount of cross-cultural leadership experience to the team.
