Noor Haslinda Hj. Md So’od
Senior Social Worker (RSW)
‘The youth of today, are the leaders of tomorrow’ – Nelson Mendela
Haslinda left the media industry to join the Social Service sector in 2008. Her first stint in the sector was an eye opener as she was exposed to working with ex-offenders and managing volunteers who are highly qualified and very experienced in the sector. Despite the challenges, she has never looked back. In 2011, Haslinda received the National CSSP Award for co-spearheading The Community Befriending Project in collaboration with Singapore Prisons Service. The rich experiences and various trainings she received during the five years of working with volunteers and ex-offenders in the after-care sector gave her the drive to advocate further for the less fortunate group in the community.
Haslinda joined Babes in 2013 with Outreach as her main portfolio. However, while completing her Social Work studies, she realises her true calling in case management. With the blessing and encouragement from the Executive Director, she joined the casework team in 2016. Her tertiary education in two very different fields; Mass Communications and Social Work has somewhat given her the edge to be in this sector. A strong believer in the impact that youths have on society, Haslinda is passionate about youth capacity building and wants to do more for youths at risk. An animal lover, she wants to study animal therapy in hopes to introduce alternative therapy as part of her counselling and case management in the future!
Siti Fatimah Binte Abdul Karim
Senior Social Worker (RSW)
Siti joined Babes as a Community Partnership Executive back in December 2014. Coming from a finance background, Siti decided to make that switch to social work and join Babes. She has a bachelor’s degree in Communication from Singapore University of Social Science. With support from Babes and her family, she then pursued her Graduate Diploma and successfully completed her Master of Social Work in 2017.
With her accreditation as a social worker, Siti continues to journey with our service users, families, friends and volunteers. To Siti, seeing lives being empowered and witnessing the positive change in them is such a beautiful experience and that kept her going till today. She strongly believes that with right guidance and support, our youth has the capacity to build resilience and grow from adversity.
On a personal level, Siti hope to pursue her PHD one day on an issue/topic that revolves around our youth of today.
Patsy Ang
Manager, Corporate Services
Patsy started volunteering since 2012. After many years in the corporate world, she makes the big move to leave her career and embark on a trip to Myanmar.
Volunteering with the Children of Tomorrow Youth Centre, she has experienced days without electricity power and water. These simple necessities to us, is a luxury to them.
When COVID 19 started, Patsy joined the SG Healthcare Corps to serve in the frontline supporting the swab operations. Her passion to help and support the underprivileged and needy was ignited, prompting her to join the non-profit sector.
In August 2021, Patsy joined Babes as a Volunteer Management Executive and has since grown into her current role as Manager of Corporate Services. She holds a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology and is a Certified Human Behaviour Consultant.
Ixora Amyra
Social Worker
Ixora joined Babes in July 2021. She is a fresh graduate, who completed her Diploma in Social Sciences (Social Work) from Nanyang Polytechnic.
She chose the working route before continuing her studies in undergraduate level so as to gain experience and be in field. She feels that experiential learning will allow her to experience greater gratification in honing her skills and knowledge in social work.
Despite her young age, her supervisors and mentors have commended her with high independent learning and good analytical ability to engage in self-reflection.
She has a passion and aptitude towards research. She hopes to pursue a thesis work in her undergraduate study.
She enjoys doing graphic designs and explores new technology for leisure!
Rossy Sri Julyana
Senior Executive, Programme Development
As someone who has been with Babes since 2022 back when she was still a social work intern, Rossy is currently the Senior Executive, Programme Development at Babes. Rossy graduated in 2023 with a Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Social Work.
Unlike other undergraduates who stay in their primary majors throughout, Rossy made the switch from Communications and New Media to Social Work in her third year of studies. At a time when COVID 19 still persisted, she met a social worker. The encounter intrigued her to explore the social service sector and landed her to where she is today.
Rossy believes that everyone has the capacity to grow and excel given the resources. The knowledge she acquired so far then comes in handy to support our teenagers under the Bridging Programme and the Happy Stork Programme.
An avid concertgoer, Rossy had gone to 11 concerts in a single year. That’s almost one concert per month!
Ho Kang Kia
Volunteer Management Executive
Driven by a passion for community engagement and meaningful volunteer experiences, Kang Kia joined Babes in March 2026 as a Volunteer Management Executive. With a background in Sociology, she brings valuable experience in volunteer management and community engagement within the non-profit sector. Passionate about the vital role volunteers play in strengthening social service organisations, Kang Kia is committed to creating a supportive, meaningful, and enriching volunteering experience at Babes.
Deeply interested in working with both local and international communities, Kang Kia hopes to broaden her horizons through future opportunities to collaborate with international non-profit organisations. Outside of work, she enjoys baking as a creative outlet and a way to unwind. For her, baking is more than just a hobby — it is a meaningful form of self-care and a heartfelt way to connect with others.
Samantha Su
Senior Executive, Programme Development
Samantha graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) in Psychology. She spent a lot of her university days reflecting on her professional interests and was ultimately inspired to work within the law enforcement setting after an internship with the Home Team Behavioural Sciences Centre (now the Home Team Psychology Division).
Since then, Samantha has worked as a Research Officer in Singapore Prison Service (SPS), supporting in the evaluation of the Reformative Training Centre regime, before becoming a Psychologist at Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), providing drug risk assessments to youths charged with drug consumption. Her stints in both SPS and CNB gave her the opportunity to interact with many troubled youths and the privilege of being a listening ear to their experiences and aspirations. Through these stories, Samantha realised that a lot of youths have the willingness and resilience to turn their lives around, and that less-than-ideal circumstances or bad decisions do not define them. This motivated Samantha to continue contributing to that narrative and brought her to Babes in 2026, where she now works as part of Programme Development.
Outside of work, you’ll find Samantha at a climbing gym, a yoga studio, or just hanging out at a specialty coffee shop. She also enjoys finding good music and has a playlist for every mood!
