Pang graduated from Nanyang Business School in 1994.[1] Before Pang left on her Antarctic expedition, she used to teach classes as a freelance fitness instructor.[2]
In August 2008, she found an online application for women to represent their country in Antarctica and she decided to apply.[3] She eventually beat out 70 other applicants to take the spot to travel to the South Pole.[3] She joined a team, that was later funded by Kaspersky Lab, called the Kaspersky Commonwealth Antarctic Expedition, and which included women from New Zealand, Jamaica, India, United Kingdom, Cyprus, Ghana and Brunei.[4][5] Pang was the person who secured the Kaspersky sponsorship for the team by contacting their Singapore distributor.[4]
Pang underwent a five-month training program to get ready for the trip.[1] The expedition left on 22 November 2009 from Messner Start, which is around 900 kilometers from the pole.[6][1] Pang and her team reached the South Pole at around 10 am, Singapore Time, on 30 December 2009.[7]
Pang was inducted into the Singapore Women's Hall of Fame in 2014.[1]
