Civil career

After graduating, worked at Economic Development Board (EDB) and spent three years at EDB's Washington office.[2] In 2016, she returned to Singapore.[2] Goh later worked under the Prime Minister’s Office in the economy and sustainability strategy group.[2] In 2023, she joined the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) as a director in the Smart Nation Strategy Office and the national AI group for policy and strategy.[2] In March 2025, Goh resigned from her position from 3 April 2025.[3]

There was controversy over her appearance at a Meet-the-People session at Holland-Bukit Timah constituency on 17 March 2025 because of the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC self-renewal, before moving over to Nee Soon GRC and to replace Faishal Ibrahim who is moving over to Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC.[4]
