Biography

Education:
Ph.D., Clinical Psychology, Yale University 
M.S., Clinical Psychology, Yale University
A.B., Psychology, Princeton University

Research Expertise:
My scholarly interests center on three main topics: student learning and well-being, social influence on health behaviors, and health communication. My approach to research mentorship is collaborative and focused on supporting student interests.

Teaching Narrative:
At Rowan, I currently teach Advanced Practicum and Proseminar (2025-26) for our PhD students. I also have years of experience teaching graduate students research methods, ethics, and psychopathology and health, and undergraduates clinical and health psychology, the psychological experiences of Asian Americans, and research methods. I love teaching and learning with students to think more deeply and critically, and to consider perspectives different from their own.

Honors and Awards:

Queen Mary University of London School of Biological and Chemical Sciences Teaching Excellence Award, 2019
