Minor in Social Studies
I am a doctoral student in developmental psychology at the Institute of Child Development. My research explores the intergenerational transmission of trauma and its impact on mental health among Asian and Asian American communities. My work often focuses on how adversity across ecological contexts (e.g., ACEs, economic hardship, neighborhood resources, social determinants of health, structural inequalities, and immigration) confers risk and resilience. I am particularly passionate about leveraging advanced statistical methods to generate actionable insights for tailored interventions.
