An Elevate Fellow as well as the US Department of State's IVLP's almuni, over the past 17 years, Yuen has gone from producing, directing and creating some of the highest rating TV programs in the country and regional countries to joining the corporate world for five years – as the Director of Marketing and Communications of Carrefour Malaysia and Singapore, sitting on its mgmt and exec committee; to being appointed the Exec Director of GEM. In 2010, she championed the TUKAR program (Program Transformasi Kedai Runcit) both at the blueprint and execution phases as contribution to the ETP. In 2011, she was selected as a subject matter expert for the Prime Minister's Roundtable on engaging the youth and subsequently, she leads the performing arts pillar, mapping out the industry’s growth for the Dasar Industri Kreatif Negara. Yuen also conceptualized WOMEN:girls, a not for profit and cause driven organisation to drive higher women's share of voice. Earlier launch of this platform is awarded the Best Campaign of The Year 2011 by the Malaysia PR Association. WOMEN:girls mobilises pop culture as persuasive power to move people into actions, at the grass roots level through a program endearingly named Ikal Mayang; a series of short films for girls to realise their voices/aspirations/dreams. An important milestone is achieved when Ikal Mayang is selected officially to premiere internationally at the 18th Busan International Film Festival 2013.
