↑ The major claim of this section of text is the subject's portfolio, which in any event, is already confirmed and not in doubt. The value of the source reference is very low, not worth adding to the article for claims that no one is disputing.

↑ This claim, about the subject's age, is more trivia than anything else ("youngest ever..) and no one is doubting this. The value of adding the source, which is a lecture given by the subject, is not very compelling.

↑ The reference was added, but the description of the subject being a "visionary" was deleted in favor of more appropriate prose. (See WP:PEACOCK.) Reworded as: "She is also credited with helping the Education Sector Enhancement Programme, popularly known as "EduTech", which aims to increase the number of young people contributing to the island's development."
