I am a second-generation Taiwanese-American entering my last year of study at the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at North Carolina Central University. I obtained my Bachelor's in Psychobiology from the University of California, Los Angeles and have previously worked alongside youth on the spectrum, as well as youth and adults with eating disorders. I am passionate about exploring what wellness means for each individual and creating safe spaces that honor all aspects of my clients’ stories.
NCCU Internships
Project IMPACT NC (Integrated Mental and Physical Health Access for the Care and Treatment of North Carolina youth/families)—a partnership between DukeWELL and North Carolina Central University’s Counselor Education program—is intended to address the mental, physical, and medical health care needs of youth and families in underserved counties from an integrated behavioral health approach. DukeWELL’ s intention through this partnership is to provide needed behavioral health resources within the network and to support the development of future Integrated behavioral health clinicians.
HOPE Internships
The HOPE Collaborative intern will help create a database of facilities in the HOPE Collaborative that will include contact information for all of their key staff along with identifying bed capacity, special admission circumstances, insurances accepted, and specific conditions accepted at each SNF—like bariatric patients, trachs, LVADs, TPN, IV antibiotics, wound vacs, etc. This will be used by DukeWELL care managers, referral coordinators, and others to help expedite the referral process and find appropriate facilities to provide care.

NCCU Intern
I’m a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Clinical Addiction Specialist Studies at North Carolina Central University. My interests include integrated behavioral health, population health management, and supporting older adults, veterans, and underserved communities experiencing mental health and substance-use concerns. My experience with the California Air National Guard has shaped my appreciation for the importance of connection, trust, and understanding the communities we serve. I love that this work gives me the opportunity to meet people where they are, learn from their experiences, and help them recognize their own strengths along the way.
NCCU Intern
I am currently a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student from North Carolina Central University. I got my bachelor’s degrees in psychology and economics from UC Berkeley. After my undergraduate studies, I worked as a direct support professional and a registered behavior technician, and that is what ignited my passion for the helping profession. I thrive off of creating a warm environment that anyone can step into and feel comfortable. I consider being person-centered of the utmost importance.
