Joan Poh may look like any other ordinary nurse - maybe just a little tanner, and with muscles that rival that of a professional athlete. 💪
That's because she is one. When the scrubs are off, Joan heads to the waters, working on perfecting that rowing stroke which may land her a spot in the Olympics one day. 🏆

Starting something new is never easy. This is why Oliver’s grateful for the support of his wife, Amanda. 👫
The couple founded TheSimpleDeed - a volunteer network that sews and distributes masks with transparent panels - initially for seniors, and later on for other communities. 🧵
