Pending funding, I plan on recruiting a doctoral student for the 2022-23 academic year. I am looking for a dedicated, driven and passionate student who is primarily interested in racial identity development, gender socialization (e.g., belief, expectations of what it means to be a man or woman), and alcohol use among Asian Americans and other ethnic minorities. Research and clinical experiences in one or all of these areas is desired. In the upcoming years, I will be working on numerous manuscripts and NIH grants in these areas thus I want a student who is 100% committed to this line of work.​

 

My mentorship style is supportive and direct. Given I want the best for my students, I provide my students direct and constructive feedback to optimize and maximize their potential. As a result, my doctoral students have been extremely productive with respect to publications, and my undergraduate too, have publications with me, and 20+ undergraduates who have worked directly with me have been admitted to top graduate programs in counseling, clinical, social psychology, public health, social work programs.
