I’m a 2nd year student in NTU pursuing psychology and linguistics, driven by a deep curiosity in how children grow, learn, and communicate. My academic interests lie in developmental psychology and the role of language in shaping learning, which inspire my long-term goal of becoming an educational psychologist or speech pathologist. Working with children has always been at the heart of what I do. Through extensive volunteering experiences, from mentoring to teaching, I’ve had the privilege of seeing firsthand how encouragement and tailored support can make a difference in a child’s confidence and development. These moments have strengthened my commitment to building a career where I can help children overcome challenges and thrive. I’m excited to continue exploring the intersection of psychology and linguistics, while growing into a professional path that allows me to combine research and practice to positively impact young lives.
