Bio

My name is Andy (he/him) and I am an incoming graduate student at SDSU studying multicultural community counseling graduating in 2026! Ever since I was in high school, I aspired to become a therapist for the refugee and first and second-generation immigrant community. I dream of one day opening a community clinic. I am proudly a first generation, low-income college student who earned a B.A in psychology and minored in Asian American & Asian Diaspora Studies, and creative writing at UC Berkeley. During my time there, I was involved in four different sectors: education, research, mental health, and community organizing. I am passionate about mental health equity for marginalized communities. Outside of my academics, I enjoy reading all sorts of books and writing short stories and poems. I love learning even outside of academics whether that is the science of skin care, listening to deep-dive video essays on niche topics, or video games.
