Admissions Fellow at Brandeis University

She/her/hers

Class of 2024

Hometown: Brookline, MA

Major: Neuroscience

Secondary Major: Biology

My favorite place on campus, in Waltham or in Boston is...

My residence hall - mods (a six-person townhouse designed for independent living) because it's so much fun living with friends and our apartment feels like my second home.

I chose Brandeis because...

Brandeis allows me to pursue both science and music. I've always wanted to be a scientist, but I can never imagine giving up playing the clarinet in an orchestra. Brandeis is the perfect place for me because I don't need to compromise music or science.

My favorite activity outside of class is...

Hanging out and/or putting on events with my friends from BAASA (Brandeis Asian American Students Association).

My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

Health Psychology taught by Jutta Wolf. Before taking the class, I thought that health just meant the absence of disease instead of a state of physical, mental, and social well-being. I was amazed by how biological, social, and psychological factors all contribute to health.

I'm passionate about...

Neuroscience Clarinet listening to music (all the time) Volunteering and Giving Animals Golden Retriever
