Biodata

My name is Yeo Wan Yu and I am currently a third year student pursuing a degree in Materials Science & Engineering in the National University of Singapore. Previously, I studied at Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ Primary and Secondary School for ten years before attending Meridian Junior College for two years.

During my time in Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School, I was in the school choir and have represented the school in various competitions such as the Singapore Youth Festival and Sing Singapore. I have also performed in many school events and external performances such as Christmas caroling. In Meridian Junior College, I was in the Modern Dance Club and have participated in competitions such as the Singapore Youth Festival and Danceworks!, along with various internal and external performances.

Apart from the academic education that I am pursuing in NUS, I have been highly involved in extra curricular activities as part of Eusoff Hall. For all my three years in NUS, I have been involved in the annual NUS Rag Day (representing Eusoff Hall), Eusoff Hall’s annual Dance Production and many internal and external events as a dancer and a choreographer. I have also represented Eusoff Hall in Funkamania, an annual dance competition in NUS. Having an interest in team sports, I have played basketball and volleyball for Eusoff Hall and took part in the Inter-Hall Games. I was also involved in various committees such as the External Relations Committee and the Sports Management Committee. Outside of hall, I have participated in the Engineering Freshmen Orientation Camp in my first year and went on to take part as a councilor in my second year. All these have helped to hone my leadership skills and taught me to be a team player with both management and organizational skills.

The work experiences I have to date include doing an internship at A*STAR Institute of Microelectronics, where I dealt with Through Silicon Vias (TSV) and solder bumps between logic dies and memory dies. I have also worked as a temporary assistant administrator in Canon Singapore Pte Ltd for six months before entering NUS. I have taken on various part-time jobs in sales and promoting for Reckitt Benkiser and VM&SD as well. Currently, I am giving private part-time tuition to primary and secondary school students.

I have a strong passion in the performing arts, and have been trained in classical piano, electone and classical ballet. Other past-time activities include basketball, blading and reading. An extrovert by nature, I hope to bring positive changes to the lives of my loved ones through my aspirations and zest for life.
