December 2023-Present
Vanderbilt has a unique club called Wilderness Skills (WilSkils), which offers student-led outdoors trips every weekend. I have been on trips since December 2023. I just got back today from a climbing trip to Alabama – my first trip as lead coordinator and instructor.
I am the Event Coordinator for the 2025 APIDA Nashville conference which will be held on 11 January 2025. The APIDA (Asian Pacific Islander Desi American) Leadership Conference is an all-day high school event designed for APIDA-identifying juniors and seniors, with the primary goal of empowering cultural heritage and identity. I am Eurasian and have been involved with Nashville’s Asian community for many years. APIDA Nashville is supported by the The Asian American Advocacy Project which I joined in 2024.

HOOGLAND UNDERGRADUATE BUSINESS PROGRAM
Business Minor
The Hoogland Undergraduate Business Program is an opportunity for students to pursue a program that is “Uniquely Vanderbilt.” This trans-institutional program, with elective course options from each of the four undergraduate schools and fundamentals courses taught by the Owen Graduate School of Management, is designed to complement the solid liberal arts education.
My ultimate goal is to become a physician or dentist who can provide excellent care to my patients and contribute to the innovation and advancement of the medical field.
I plan to focus initially on marketing and finance to get a foundation for managing a dental/medical office. There is still a side in me that wants to go into research, and I will also add statistics.
