Over the years, she has been recognised and awarded for her valuable and vital contributions to the industry, including the MDEC's IPC award, the Golden Phoenix Women Entrepreneur Award, and the SOBA Young Entrepreneur Award in 2020.
Besides, she has worked on artworks for renowned Jackie Chan films such as the Police Story and Donnie Yen’s Ip Man 2, earning her an invitation to Jackie Chan's 60th birthday party, charity birthday concert, and the 2016 opening of the Jackie Chan Museum. Ning was also invited as a speaker for The 21st Century Education, Ed2 Educational Talk alongside Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir.

Ning adores the beauty of nature and enjoys cycling, skiing, and diving. She is also passionate about human development, culture, and geography. From her experiences over the years, she has discovered a disconnect between education and industry, as well as the needs of the education platform and the potential of the industry for young artists, and this is what Claz'room College is working to bridge. Her main goal is to continue to provide students with skill sets and knowledge to ensure that they are well-equipped for the demands of this exciting industry, as well as to instill passion in them and help them turn that passion into a career.
