At 19 years old, Jade was the first runner up for The New Paper New Face competition in 2013.[23][24] She was also conferred Subaru’s Miss Vivacious Subsidiary Award.[25] After the competition, Jade decided against a career in modelling due to the judgements she had faced during castings about her height.[26] In 2017, she was an invited judge for that year's TNP New Face pageant.

Newsworthy incident

Zouk and DJ Marshmello (2016)

In 2016, a dispute between Jade and her former resident club, Zouk, had arisen due to a misunderstanding during an Ultra Singapore after party. Jade had called out Zouk on social media about a DJ Marshmello imposter at the event that she believed Zouk had knowingly cheated their audience with. However, after a statement released by Zouk, it was clear that the person who had allegedly dressed up as DJ Marshmello was actually a club goer and was not condoned by Zouk. As a result, Jade had been dismissed from her residency at Zouk.[27]
