She received her MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care in 2007 with a training in spiritual direction from Talbot School of Theology, California. She completed her Doctor of Ministry in Leadership (with a research focus on communal discernment) under the Asia Graduate School of Theology (AGST Alliance) last August. Wai-Ling serves as the Director of TRAC Institute for Christian Ministry (ICM) and worships in Taman Ujong Methodist Church, Seremban, Malaysia.
