Publications/Media

Writing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love words and language, especially the magic they hold to connect people through time and space. I have been fortunate to be able to write and publish about topics that I find professionally and personally rewarding. These citations represent the work I have done primarily on issues related to Asian American mental health, ranging from peer-reviewed articles to popular press pieces and interviews. Links are provided below.
