University of Illinois College of Medicine
I'm a proud child of Vietnamese refugees from the San Francisco Bay Area.
My interests in environmental justice and children's health led me to the University of California, Berkeley, where I received simultaneous degrees in Integrative Human Biology (BA) and Molecular Environmental Biology (BS). I then trained in big data, precision medicine, and population health research methods at the Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education. I continued my training at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Public Health, where I received a Masters of Science (MS) in Environmental Health Sciences. My thesis examined the association between air pollution exposure and telomere length, a marker of aging, among children and whether this relationship differed by early-life adversity or neighborhood opportunities.
I'm currently a Doctor of Medicine (MD) student at the University of Illinois. I contribute to state and national health policy resolutions and have exciting research collaborations with the Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education and the Center 4 Health Research at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria.
