Bio

I am passionate about the fields of education and psychology. My dissertation focused on parenting styles and children's psychological adjustment among Chinese American immigrant families. I currently work as a psychology intern (soon to be postdoc!) in a children's hospital. My clinical work and research focuses on culturally sensitive interventions for children and families in hospital settings.
