What is your current research focus? In my pursuit of a career in healthcare, I am driven by an unwavering commitment to patient well-being, compassionate care, and collaborative excellence. My passion for understanding the complexities of human health fuels my diverse research interests, which span biology, psychology, medicine, and family development. I am deeply motivated to make a positive impact on underserved communities, aspiring to contribute meaningfully to the field of medicine through empathetic and evidence-based practices.
Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? I have participated in Children's Miracle Network, Relay for Life, and Light the Night. Previously, I was also a research assistant under Dr. Joanna Wu, contributing to a project titled "Navigating Parenthood: A Daily Affect Study on Parental Mental Health." The study aimed to investigate the correlation between parental mental health, including depression, anxiety disorder, and psychosis as assessed by the SCID score sheet, and its ramifications on child outcomes.

Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided. My foremost goal as a UROP Leader is to inspire and empower my students to explore their passions, develop critical thinking skills, and cultivate a lifelong love for learning. I hope to foster an inclusive and supportive environment where students feel encouraged to take intellectual risks, ask thought-provoking questions, and pursue innovative research projects. By providing mentorship, guidance, and resources, I aim to help students realize their full potential and achieve their academic and personal goals. Ultimately, I aspire to cultivate a community of driven and engaged scholars who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make meaningful contributions to their fields and society at large.
Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share I enjoy staying involved in various campus organizations, including the Honors Program, Student Government Association, the Asian American Student Union, and serving as a Resident Assistant. I'm passionate about meeting new people from diverse backgrounds and seizing every opportunity to learn and grow. Whether it's through engaging in campus organizations or participating in community events, I thrive on connecting with others and broadening my perspective. In my free time, I also enjoy practicing yoga, photography, exploring new cuisines, and going to brunch with friends.
