An Overview about Me
I am a proactive and motivated individual with a drive to succeed. My journey towards becoming a licensed therapist has been one of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I understand the struggles that immigrant minorities face, having experienced them personally as I grew up in China before immigrating to the United States. My personal and academic experiences have given me a deep understanding of different cultures and perspectives, and this is something that I bring to all of my interactions with clients.
​
I earned my bachelor's degree in both psychology and human development and family studies with a minor in digital studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I plan to graduate in May, 2024, and move forward to my graduate program in rehabilitation and mental health counseling in Virginia Commonwealth University.

Research Assistant
Center of Healthy Minds
As an intern, I gained valuable experience in facilitating communication between staff, families, and children. I was also able to provide high-quality care based on the developmental needs of the children in my care. Through my work, I established relationships with parents and their children, which helped make the transition from home to school as seamless as possible.
During my part-time job experiences, I had the opportunity to monitor front desk traffic, providing support and answers to all incoming questions while showing compassion for individual needs. In addition, I managed multitasking work including package organization and incoming and outgoing resident registrations with timely attention, demonstrating strong organizational and time-management skills.
As part of my research experience, I was responsible for recruiting participants and managing a longitudinal study on children's daily media use. This included administering onboarding calls, conducting follow-up interviews and emails, and organizing participant feedback in a database. Additionally, I ensured the safety and confidentiality of all participants by implementing strict protocols.
My research experience has given me a solid foundation in data organization and cleaning. I have assisted with the development of statistical analysis and analysis interpretation to pinpoint significance in the findings. Furthermore, I have developed reports on a comprehensive overview of the research study.
In my role as a research assistant, I undertook a literature review on the latest trends related to our research topic to aid in decision-making. I also implemented statistical analysis of the collected data using programming and initiated a project investigating the correlation between stress and desire. I was committed to upholding the integrity of our findings by adhering to quality standards throughout all stages of the research process.
