I am an incoming graduate student at Columbia University pursuing my Masters in Social Work. I currently reside in California, but I am relocating to New York in August.

Prior to my grad school admission, I worked in the social services field for three years. I was a Case Manager at a domestic violence shelter site in San Francisco. As a result, I have experience working with children who are processing and dealing with trauma and understand how trauma manifests itself differently in all children. I believe in approaching children in a kind, respectful, and trauma-informed manner and practice non-violent communication and discipline. I often provided childcare for the parents at the shelter and helped with the Children’s Program during playroom hours and group nights.

Prior to my work at the shelter, I volunteered at another emergency shelter in San Francisco and provided childcare for the women there so they could have some rare free time to themselves. I have also worked as a summer camp class facilitator for 4th and 5th grade children in San Francisco Chinatown. In that role, I planned field trips, supervised daily excursions to a nearby recreational center and playground, and created fun and engaging arts and crafts curriculum for the children in my class. One of their favorites was our weekly Friday activities in the kitchen, where we made anything from cookies to boba drinks.

I completed my undergraduate education at UC Berkeley, studying Social Welfare and minoring in Education. I mentored middle school students in Berkeley during my four years there as well as volunteered at a low-income preschool in Oakland’s Chinatown. I have worked with children of all ages and am comfortable conversing with them on a one-on-one level that helps them feel heard and validated.

I am Infant/Child/Adult CPR/AED certified. I am also a heritage Mandarin speaker and am conversationally fluent in Mandarin. I grew up with two Siberian Huskies and currently own a bossy Lynx Point Siamese so I am very comfortable with pets in the home and am happy to assist in pet care.
