About
I continue to navigate the world with a unique and adaptable lens that I developed through self discovery, resilience to adversity, and wisdom imparted by friends, family, and strangers. I am a queer, Caucasian/Asian American who pursued the arts to better myself, find family and community, and learn and teach those around me. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue a Masters in Acupuncture after being the first member in my family to receive a college degree. I see myself being a "forever student" because the world of medicine is ever changing. I'm excited for what the future holds for me and what changes I can be a part of in the field of medicine and those around me.
