Hello!<\/p>\n
My name is Kelyin Chng and I will be fulfilling one of two Outreach and Engagement Assistant positions! I am currently majoring in Marketing while searching for a second major at Iowa State University. My experience within the field of Marketing has been exciting and I can\u2019t wait to create engaging artifacts for the Iowa Water Center! I have explored the sales and design part of marketing but found more of a passion for the design side. Despite the curveball life has thrown at us, I am eager to begin this position online at home for the time being.<\/p>\n
Growing up, my parents would take me back to Penang, Malaysia every other year. Just about all my extended family lives there and it always felt like seeing a whole new world. One thing that always stood out to me was the open sewage on the streets and water quality. I remember going out to eat and my grandmother telling me that the tap water was unsafe. As a young girl, I was confused because it was so common to ask for a glass of water at a restaurant or cafe. Ever since then, I have found an interest in learning more about water research. Working for the Iowa Water Center will be a great opportunity for me to add my skills into the mix of presenting content for the community regarding our water. As a person who lives 5 minutes from the Mississippi River, it is important to share the findings of that great resource. I feel like water is often taken for granted and I’m ready to make it easier for Iowans to understand what the Iowa Water Center is up to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
