New York, New York, United States
Hello! My focus is creating a healthier population through intervention and prevention, especially among underserved communities, by using data to identify the most efficient and effective programs. I'm currently working with big data to evaluate health insurance and target the problems on both sides of the health care system. My passion is advocating for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) health and improving the quality of services provided to the population as well as educating the community on healthy habits. I've researched about how the model minority stereotype has deterred AANHPI health and their representation, or lack thereof, in published health literature. Interested in AANHPI? Let's chat!
