Meet the youngest McDonald’s General Manager in Singapore

April L. | General Manager | Singapore

Ever since I was young, I’ve wanted to be a leader. I’m proud to say McDonald’s is helping me achieve that dream. 

A few years ago, when I was working as a crew member at a McDonald’s restaurant in Singapore, I was sponsored for a Business Practice diploma. I was eager to earn my diploma, but studying and taking exams as a working adult was very challenging. There were many times I felt like giving up and focusing only on work. In the end, though, the support I received from my mentors and my McDonald’s restaurant helped me achieve my educational goals. When I got my diploma, it was the happiest day of my life. 
 

Now, I’m the youngest General Manager in Singapore, responsible for more than 100 crew members and 10 managers. I’m also working toward becoming a Business Consultant by taking part in the McDonald’s Restaurant Leadership Program.  

Joining McDonald’s has been life-changing for me, and I hope to pay it forward by encouraging other restaurant workers to pursue their educations and hone their leadership skills. It’s empowering to have achieved success at a young age, and I want others to know they can do this, too.
