I’m from San Diego, CA. I completed undergraduate and graduate school in at the University of California, San Diego. I then moved to Philadelphia, PA to attend medical school at Temple University. I moved to Boston for Triple Board residency training and Tufts, and liked it so much that I stayed! I love that my job allows me to continue to teach and learn, and work with such a wonderful group of people. I was Associate Program Director for the Triple Board Program for two years, and am now happy to serve as the Program Director. My clinical work is in outpatient child psychiatry, child psychiatry consultation-liaison work at Tufts Medical Center and work in outpatient consultation to pediatricians through the MCPAP program. I am interested in cultural psychiatry, particularly with Asian and Asian-American populations. While not at work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, enjoying the city of Boston and the surrounding Northeast, and going to the beach.
