Bio

As an undergraduate student with a Bachelor’s of Art in Psychology with a minor in Human Services, I want to be the first in my family to break the trend of generational trauma and fight off the mental health stigma in the Asian American community. My goal is to become a licensed professional who is able to make positive changes in people’s lives and provide a safe space for people to heal and have happier, healthier lives.
