As someone who has been fortunate enough to cross paths with a slew of inspiring and nurturing teachers over the past 16 years of formal education, it is my sincerest hope to be able to pay it forward by eventually becoming an educator myself. I am currently pursuing my PhD under Dr. Jia Lile and my research interest encompasses the application of social psychology to enhance academic goal pursuit and student learning.

When not working, I enjoy spending my time watching sitcoms, catching up with loved ones, and immersing myself in a boatload of video games.
