ZEVA was successfully formed in December 2021 and to-date has registered close to 30 members with active role to advocate for EV usage towards reducing carbon emission. She works with the industry, around the policy makers to assist EV-friendly policy as well engaging the public on awareness topics of EV.

In her free time, she enjoys family camping by the river with her new EV that provides vehicle-to-load facility.
