Celine works on research studies as well as research strategy and engagement at NCSS. Building research and evaluation capability of social service agencies (SSAs) is one of her core roles, and one way that this is done is through the Ethics Review Committee (ERC). As the ERC secretariat, she manages applications from SSAs, NCSS, and MSF, and works with an independent board to review these applications.
Jingyi graduated from NUS with a BSocSci (Hons) majoring in social work, and is a Registered Social Worker under Singapore Association of Social Workers (SASW). She started her career in the community sector at Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS), working with adults with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers.
She joined Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) in 2012 as a Medical Social Worker and was working primarily with the population living with HIV and other infectious diseases. In 2019, she took a gap year to obtain her Masters of Law (LLM) in Medical Ethics and Law in University of Hong Kong. Since her return, she has moved into psychosocial care for neuroscience patients, working closely with the multi-disciplinary healthcare team to support patients and family members. Due to her interest in socio-legal and ethical issues, she facilitates training and capability-building for MSWs within TTSH and beyond. She sits on the clinical ethics committee (CEC) of TTSH, and is an external healthcare professional member of CGH CEC. She has also previously served in SASW’s workgroup on professional ethics.
Associate Professor (Practice)
Department of Economics
National University of Singapore
Dr. Jungup Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Social Work at the National University of Singapore. Her research seeks to refine the understanding of how adverse childhood events relate to subsequent behavioural and mental health outcomes for children and adolescents. Specifically, Dr. Lee’s research focuses on identifying multi-level risk and protective factors (e.g., family, peer, school, and community levels) that shape various patterns of externalizing and internalizing behaviours to facilitate the development of more effective intervention strategies for social workers providing services to children, adolescents, and young adults. Her research interests include cyberbullying, school violence and safety, child maltreatment, online harassment, technology-facilitated sexual misconduct, juvenile justice, and youth mental health and digital well-being.
