Hafiz Kasman
Co-founder, Kinobi
Mara Mentoring
Director, External Relations
​
Owing a lot of my personal accomplishments to the help and guidance of my own mentors, I wish to better enable mentorship for the younger generation.
​
I am a serial coffee chatter and people learner - I love meeting with people, old and new, to understand the stories of their lives.

​
I have benefitted a lot from informal and formal mentors in my life and hope to give back. I'm also quite curious about designing a unique mentoring programme with a strong sense of community and family.
In the day, I build innovation communities and run corporate innovation programmes. In the night, I watch prison documentaries and when I feel a little down and jaded about life, I watch Boss Baby and Slam Dunk!
Syafiq Firdaus

Mara Mentoring
Community Lead
​
​
​
I joined this committee to make an an impact to the Malay/Muslim community and to raise the standards for the youths of tomorrow.
I am passionate about entrepreneurship, business strategies and all things digital. If I am not at work, you can find me mostly engrossed in the latest Netflix or anime series!
Derrick Pang

Mara Mentoring
Operations Lead
​
​
​
I joined Mara Mentoring back in 2019 as I felt the desire to pass along the help I have gotten earlier in university and the meaningful opportunity to do that came along when Hafiz and Ben started this initiative.
I am still a foot in, trying to train for a triathlon. I have been in athletics for the past 10 years and beyond this, i have been experimenting with coffee brewing and cafe hopping!

Mara Mentoring
Marketing Lead

​
Looking back at my undergraduate years, I would have loved having this community of mentors to share how they manoeuvred through their industries. I hope I can bridge that gap for my juniors.
​
I enjoy being suspended in the air and train with aerial hammocks/silks - hoping to be a graceful aerialist one day!
