Visual Summary
Synopsis
Wilson paints, makes and tends.
He graduated from Queen Mary University of London with a 1st Class Honours degree in Marine and Freshwater Biology. He is grateful for the largesse of the Fulbright Scholarship, the Yale F&ES Scholarship, and the NParks’ Post-graduate Scholarship, all of which enabled him to read for a Master’s degree in Environmental Management at Yale University. There, he co-founded a social enterprise providing a free peer community to international students applying to US colleges, and was appointed a Yale Entrepreneurial Institute Fellow.
Wilson has had 10 years of public service experience, working on biodiversity conservation, research and policy. In his previous role as an Assistant Director in the National Parks Board (NParks), Wilson was privileged to drive the development of Singapore’s Integrated Coastal Management program, and co-led the Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology in his concluding role. He has been shaped by the experience of befriending and caring for vulnerable elderly, as well as mentoring young students.
Wilson is currently a Director at Skillseed, where he leads learning experience design, amongst other key responsibilities. He serves as a Principal Trainer for the Engagement Immersion for Leaders (EIL) course at the Civil Service College of Singapore, where he and his fellow trainers at Skillseed equip our nation's senior public servants in citizen engagement and community co-creation skills.
Wilson belongs to Christ.
