Research Interests

I am an Assistant Professor of Counseling Psychology in the Department of Psychological
Sciences at Texas Tech University. I completed my doctoral training in Counseling
Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (APA-accredited) with a minor
in Educational Statistics and Measurement in 2016 and an APA-accredited internship
at NYC Health + Hospitals|Kings County, part of the largest public health care system
in the United States. In addition, I previously completed a Master’s Degree in Prevention
Science and Practice at Harvard Graduate School of Education and a Bachelor’s Degree
in Education at Busan National University of Education in South Korea.

My research program focuses on investigating contextual factors related to the intersection
of work, family, and health (psychological health and chronic pain conditions) in
diverse populations with two overarching lines of inquiry: 1) how cultural, linguistic,
social, and interpersonal dynamics influence pain experience and opioid use and 2)
how two major life roles — work and family — independently and collectively influence
health and how these phenomena occur and are influenced by cultural factors (gender
role, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and age).

My clinical work has focused on serving underserved and underrepresented individuals
with histories of severe mental health issues as well as chronic pain conditions.
My doctoral clinical training was completed at academic medical centers, public and
community hospitals in three different cities in Wisconsin–Milwaukee, Madison and
Racine. My master’s clinical training was at an urban high school in Boston.  Additional
work fundamental to my identity as a clinician is the four years of psychoanalytic
training at the Wisconsin and Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute during my doctoral
training. I am excited to bring the depth and breadth of my clinical experience to
the next generations of psychologists.

Beyond my work as an instructor, mentoring students has become extremely important
to me. I run an active research team consisting of several doctoral and undergraduate
students, who have broad aspirations, including becoming psychologists, pathologists,
oncologists, psychiatrists, pharmacists, dentists and health care researchers. I am
proud to say that this is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my job. I feel strongly
about the importance of collaborating with students as well as scholars in diverse
disciplines. I involve graduate students in research early in their training using
both the “apprentice model” and “junior colleague model” based on their developmental
level. I have received excellent mentorship, understand its importance, and I am committed
to “paying it forward.”

Outside of Academia, I love being in nature, from small adventures exploring local
parks to longer voyages to state and national parks. Recently, I have gotten back
into playing piano and enjoy listening to the works of Chopin and Rachmaninoff, whose
work impresses me every time I hear it. The intersection of quantum physics, psychotherapy
and Buddhism is also a subject of my musings, and I hope to write a piece on this
subject when I get closer to retirement. I practice Seon Meditation and love reading
and discussing anything about it.
