Bio

I strive to create a safe, supportive and collaborative space where students can engage in exploring difficult and challenging emotions and experiences and learn skills and knowledge to lead a more balanced and fulfilled life. I strive to provide an inclusive space that honors students of all identities. As a TigerWell Outreach Counselor, I partner with the Graduate School, Davis International Center and the School of Engineering and Applied Science to increase access and to provide needed services and support through individual drop-in sessions, support groups, wellness workshops and consultations. I am always on the lookout for ways to partner in this work so, don’t hesitate to reach out!

I am a 1.5 generation Korean American, who was born in South Korea and immigrated to the U.S. with my family at the age of eight. I am a parent of two teens and a Cavachon named Penny who keeps me on my toes.
