Biography
I am currently a PhD Candidate at the UW–Madison School of Nursing. Originally from South Korea, I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Seoul National University. Informed by my clinical experience as a nurse in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU), my research focuses on understanding subjective, multidimensional post–intensive care unit (ICU) symptom experiences, with the goal of developing symptom self-management strategies for ICU survivors to improve their long-term health outcomes.
I joined Dr. Sheng’s lab in early 2026 as a Project Assistant on the CARE project, which aims to promote breast cancer awareness among Asian American women. In this role, I have gained valuable experience in community engagement and the development of health promotion interventions.
Outside of research, I enjoy singing, trying different kinds of food, and running along the lakes in Madison.
