Introduction
As a working mother of two young children, Bernadette Giam believes that supporting mothers can uplift whole communities, enabling future generations of Singaporeans to thrive.
Bernadette’s passion for service and community work was deeply influenced by her grandmother – a hawker who balanced raising a family while running a small business. Inspired by her grandmother’s resilience, she believes women can make a significant difference in their families, and to society.
Over the last ten years, Bernadette has dedicated time towards uplifting women, youth and seniors, through her volunteering with the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO) and St. Theresa’s Home. As an activist with the PAP Women’s Wing, she led the inaugural ‘All Things Nice’ initiative in collaboration with several PAP branches, empowering 300 young women with pre-loved corporate attire and valuable programming support from women-led SMEs.
Bernadette also advocates for young mothers and believes every child should have a good start. Under Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, she helmed a pioneering preschool outreach, bringing together local preschools to foster community bonding. Creating more opportunities for intergenerational connections within the community is something she is passionate about too, with the belief that this would strengthen families and uphold dignity for our seniors.
Professionally, Bernadette is a Director at Creative Eateries, a local food and beverage company, where she oversees strategic initiatives and business development. She has been an Executive Committee member of the Association of Catering Professionals Singapore (ACAPS) since 2016, and of the Young Business Leaders Network (YBLN) under the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) since 2022. She has also served on the Nanyang Polytechnic Business Management Advisory Committee since 2016.
In her free time, Bernadette loves exploring the outdoors with her children, taking walks, and enjoying a cup of coffee with her husband.
