Biography

As a gay/queer, Asian-American, therapist of color, it is impossible for me not to recognize the impact of identity and context on one’s wellbeing. I hope to support underserved students and communities on campus so that all students have the opportunity to live fruitful, values aligned lives. In my free time, I play videogames, watch horror movies, and spend time with my 2 dogs, Finn and Chowder.
