Career

Lee was a contestant in Star Search 2007, with her future co-star Andie Chen winning first prize. Although she was eliminated in the semifinals, her performance earned her a contract with MediaCorp.

In 2011 she played her first lead role in a MediaCorp production in the blockbuster police procedural drama C.L.I.F.. From 2013 to 2015 , she was nominated for Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes. Lee was one of the Sheng Siong hosts for outdoor cooking and was replaced by Seraph Sun.

In 2016, Lee left the entertainment industry after deciding against renewing her contract.
