Personal Statement

I believe in addressing social issues at their roots, which often lie in systemic inequalities. Through my academic journey and extracurricular activities, I've strived to develop innovative and collaborative approaches to tackling these challenges. Whether it's conducting research on ocular health disparities or coordinating campus events to foster inclusivity, I aim to make a meaningful impact. My involvement as President of the Asian Student Association has allowed me to promote cultural understanding and unity, while my role as Vice President of both the MU Athletic and Recreation Club and the Resident Hall Association has equipped me with skills in leadership and organization. My roles as an Orientation Leader and Student Ambassador have provided me with invaluable experience in effectively engaging with prospective students, offering them personalized guidance and insights into university life, ultimately enriching their confidence and enthusiasm in choosing their educational path. I am committed to leveraging my diverse skill set and experiences to continue addressing social issues and advocating positive change in my community.
