About Me
I was born in New Jersey and moved around New York and Florida until my family settled in Redmond, Washington. Growing up in a Thai and Filipinx working class family and experiencing life in many different parts of the U.S. led me to become very interested in the social and political determinants of health—particularly those relating to immigration and work. I attended the University of Pennsylvania, where I received a B.A. in Health & Societies, took interdisciplinary courses in history, sociology, and anthropology, and concentrated in Race, Gender, and Health. During this time, I was heavily influenced by my classes in Asian American Studies and my community engagement work with a Southeast Asian grassroots organization in Philadelphia. Eager to learn more about community-based approaches to improve population health, I pursued a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Health Equity, Social Justice, and Human Rights and a Certificate in Total Worker Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I joined Dr. Jih's lab in an interest to conduct research on Asian American health outcomes and improve care for diverse communities. Currently, I am also an ASPPH Fellow at CDC's Office of Health Equity, where I am working on projects related to health equity infrastructure in state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments.
