Hello!! I'm Veralyn, a newly minted graduate of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies from Nanyang Technological University with a Minor in Early Childhood Education!Growing up as the eldest of seven children, you could really say I have been working and helping children since the arrival of my siblings. Since embracing my passion for helping children and learning, I have completed the 2020 MOE Teaching Internship, embarked on other stints such as private tutoring, and completed my Early Childhood Education minor. My recent roles as a research assistant has also united my interest in research with children. Aside from obviously giving me the honour of and joys of guiding children in their development, I would say that working in with young children has honed so much patience and interpersonal "nimbleness". One moment I am realising a child's concerns that prevent them from pushing themselves, the next I am assuring a concerned parent, and the next (again), I am relaying updates to a supervisor or colleague. I find this aspect of interacting with different groups of people challenging yet enlightening and have enjoyed it thoroughly. Where to find me in my free time? Literally pop by a nearby gym and you'll see me moving heavy metal bars up and down in various set ups 🏋🏻♀️👀. Or find me taking pictures of every single meal I am about to enjoy. If you have an extremely good eye, maybe you'll even find me sitting very still, quickly getting through my next science fiction novel ;)Say 'Hi!' at vtan037@e.ntu.edu.sg / veralyntcx@gmail.com
