With a background in Mandarin Chinese, East Asian Culture and architectural analysis, I have a very unique perspective on public health in modern society. I have experienced living in different environments, and have seen first-hand how they influence health. As a Master of Public Health and Master of Urban and Regional Planning dual degree student, I want to help facilitate the re-emerging discussion on health and the built environment. Furthermore, as I am ultimately interested in pursuing a career in academia, I want to learn more about contributing to students’ continuing education, conducting relevant research and writing and publishing papers. I believe effective communication is key and I enjoy translating findings so they resonate with people and relate to problems or issues they are trying to solve.
