Jade was the first runner up for The New Paper New Face competition in 2013.[14] She was also conferred Subaru’s Miss Vivacious Subsidiary Award.[15] Before the competition, Jade was insecure about her height and altered her diet to achieve a slimmer look so that she could appear taller.[16] However, she felt that she was never penalized for her height during the competition and instead, had gained confidence while learning from her other competitors.[17] After the competition, she went on to further her career in modelling but eventually did not continue due to the judgements about her height she had faced during castings.[18] Subsequently, as an alumnus of New Face, she was part of the judging panel for TNP New Paper New Face in 2017.

Newsworthy incidents

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.[19]
