Biography

I am currently a second year undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison majoring in Biology on the Pre-Med track. Within the medical field, I’m specifically interested in women’s health, with a concentration in studying the impact of demographic factors such as race and socioeconomic status on health outcomes. I joined Dr. Sheng’s lab in October 2025 to assist with the CARE program. Through my involvement in the “Breast Cancer Awareness and Risk Education for Asian Americans (CARE)” Program, I am gaining valuable insight and experience regarding the effect of physical activity on cancer prevention, specifically in Asian American communities. I have been exposed to the nuances behind community centered research, program coordination and cultural literacy. Outside of academics, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, being in nature, or relaxing with a good book or show.
