Early life and career

Lim has a brother who is eight years older. Her mother is a housewife and her father is a bus driver. Lim accredited her mother for cultivating her interest in performing since young, after finding out that Lim had a talent for singing when she was three. Lim's mother accompanied her to take part in various singing, dancing and storytelling competitions and Lim developed a passion for the entertainment industry in the process.[2] At the age of 7, Lim was one of the dancers at Hong Kong star Aaron Kwok's concert in Singapore.[1]

Lim began acting when she was 11, with a leading role in Channel 8 children's drama Little Detective. The following year in 2014, she appeared in the Okto series Wizard of Honey Street, as well as in the Suria series A&E .[2]

Lim has also appeared in ads for KFC Breakfast in 2011, Nickelodeon's anti bullying campaign in 2014 and a commercial for Cathay Cineplex in 2018.[1]

Lim took a hiatus from acting for four to five years to concentrate on her studies, attending an Institute of Technical Education, majoring in business. In 2016, Lim was cast in the English-language long-form drama Tanglin.[2]

In 2018, she took part in Huayi Brothers Icon Search, a large-scale talent competition in China. In 2019, Lim participated in the 11th edition of Mediacorp's Star Search and emerged as one of the Top 12 finalists.[1][3]

She has since gone on to appear in multiple Mediacorp drama series including Last Madame (2019), All Around You (2020), A Jungle Survivor (2020) and Live Your Dreams (2021).[4][5]
