Background
Early Life
Nicole filmed a "Q&A Video" where she revealed that she is a Singaporean Chinese, born in Singapore. She spent her younger years growing up in the Philippines and returned to Singapore in Primary One. She used to speak Tagalog but now speak English and Chinese.[1]
Education
Nicole attended Zhonghua Secondary School, and Mass Communications at Temasek Polytechnic.[1] She went on to study in Nanyang Technological University's School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) and graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts in Visual Communications.[1][2]
Professional Career
Nicole started her journey as a social media influencer in 2017.[3] She mentioned that the lack of beauty product reviews on YouTube was the reason that spurred her to start her own YouTube channel.[1] As of 9 February 2022, she has over 74,800 followers on Instagram, and over 34,300 followers on her YouTube channel.[4][5] On her Instagram, she posts mostly on advertisements of sponsored beauty, lifestyle and food products, and snippets of her personal life. On her YouTube channel, she posts videos on beauty tips, collaborations with other influencers and vlogs on her own personal life.
Personal Life
Marriage to James Seah
On 15 Jan 2022, Nicole married local Singaporean actor James Seah after a two-year engagement.[6] James had previously proposed to Nicole on Christmas Day in 2019 in Thailand.[7] The couple had previously bought a $600,000, 900 sqft BTO flat in Boon Keng, which will only be ready in 2023-2024.[8]
Media Controversy
CNA Lifestyle Article Controversy
In May 2020, Nicole was featured along with four other influencers in a CNA Lifestyle article which drew criticism from the public for its headline "'I had to use TikTok': How Singapore’s influencers cope with the circuit breaker measures."[9]
While some social media users criticised influencers in general, others mocked the idea that these personalities have to adapt to using TikTok during the stay home period, and sarcastically compared their efforts to those of frontline workers.[4] In response, Nicole clarified on her Instagram that the quote in the headline was wrongly attributed to her, and claimed that the quote “I had to use TikTok” was not mentioned by any of the interviewees.[4]
