Nadia Yeo

I am Nadia, a 3rd year psychology student. My background in psychology enables me to better understand the human mind and behaviour, which I believe is essential to helping others. I am very passionate about UNICEF's causes⁠—child mental health and well-being, quality education, and gender equality. 

Relevant experiences:

- Worked with children from an orphanage to research factors that affect academic motivation in youths at-risk

- Volunteer tutor to students without access to tuition services amidst the Covid-19 virus outbreak

- Internship with the Autism Association and St. Andrew's Autism School to support the learning of children with moderate to severe autism

- Internship with the Clinical & Forensic Psychology Service Department of the Ministry of Social and Family Development; assisted in psychotherapy sessions with children who had experienced physical and sexual abuse

- Conducted a research project looking into the factors affecting mental health support for students with special needs.

As the interim Social Media Officer for the past month, I designed event posters and managed the society's social media accounts (take a look at the 10 recent posts on @inaidofunicef on Instagram!). I also proposed the bi-termly newsletter idea and encouraged members' involvement as volunteers for our fundraisers! I hope to continue serving the In Aid of UNICEF society for the rest of the year!
