Summary
What are your plans after graduating?
After I graduate, I plan to obtain a master's degree in marriage and family counseling. Once I am licensed, I hope to work with all kinds of clientele, especially Asian Americans. I am passionate about advocating for mental health resources in my community, as I realize our culture does not acknowledge mental health as much as we should. I am looking forward to being someone who can provide the resources that my community and other communities are so desperately in need of.
What is the most important piece of advice you'd give to an incoming college freshman?
The most important piece of advice I would give to an incoming college freshman is to pave your own path! Find out what makes you excited, makes you want to come to campus daily and ignites your passion. Surround yourself with people who will walk with you on that path. In addition, make sure to actively seek out opportunities that will get you closer to your end goal.
Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?
In fifteen years I see myself growing into a seasoned counselor and taking on more supervisory roles. I would not be opposed to coming back to the University and teaching courses to do with counseling. I hope to start a family and be settled in a nice house with two cats and a dog. Maybe I will even take up gardening!
