She is currently in her final year of the Albert Solnit Integrated Adult and Child Psychiatry fellowship at the Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine.

She leads a group of talented Yale affiliates to use drama vignettes as educational tools to promote emotional wellness in Asian-American children, young adults, and parents.
