Favorite memories of CAACH?

“I have a lot of fond memories, but if I had to choose one then it would have to be taking Winston Tseng’s class on Asian American Health or AAADS 143. I enjoy reading contemporary studies on Asian American health issues and being a part of a group leading a service project. That was where I was first involved in the AAPI Covid Community Archival Project.”

Future goals/plans?

“My future goal is to bridge resources for underserved communities, especially those coming from immigrant/refugee backgrounds. I notice that there is a lack of resources in connecting these communities to important necessities whether it’ll be housing, legal, or translational services. I am hoping to develop my entrepreneurial and leadership skills to start an organization in the future that would benefit these communities.”

What were you involved in?

“I was briefly involved with organizations like the Undergraduate Communications Association (UCA) and REACH!, the API Recruitment and Retention Center. I was more involved with organizations such as the Asian American Pacific Islander Health Research Group (AAPIHRG), Southeast Asian Student Coalition (SASC), and Iu Mien Student Union of Berkeley (IMSU) throughout my undergrad. Recently I was awarded the Ling-Chi Wang “Empowering Community Leadership” Award for co-leading the AAPI Covid Community Archival Project.”
