Wen Jie (Fred) Tan, Previous Research Assistant

Fred was previously a Religious Freedom & Business Foundation Research Assistant working on the Empowerment+ initiative, and a student at Brigham Young University.

Originally from Singapore, work and school have taken Fred to China, England, and most recently America where he now pursues an Honors degree in political science with a minor in business management. Fred has worked for the Singapore Police Force and Ministry of Home Affairs (Singapore) where he was able to understand on an intimate level the struggles and concerns of the everyday person. Fred’s frequent interactions with the disenfranchised in various nations inspired him to focus his work, academic research, and volunteer service on promoting cultural and religious understanding as a means to engage with isolated segments of society.
