"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least." (Goethe)

Hey there,

I am Yiling Ong – a writer and freelance career counselor based in S.E. Asia. I help thoughtful souls honor their center and act from their grounded place.

As a former educator, I still believe "education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul" (Muriel Spark). I strive to be a mirror to myself so that I can be a mirror for you.
