I am originally from San Diego, CA. I completed my undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley in Integrative Biology with an emphasis in Integrative Human Biology, and Psychology. I also completed a Science and Math Education minor where I regularly taught in Bay Area schools. Influenced by my parents’ refugee experience, my identities, and more, I am interested in Dr. Jih’s work towards health equity in multiethnic and linguistically diverse populations. I am currently a community research navigator at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I focus on community-based participatory research and increasing underrepresented populations’ participation in Alzheimer’s research.
