Bio

Hello! My name is Phoebe and I am a Taiwanese American counseling Master's student at the University of Pennsylvania aiming to work with college students. I recently graduated from Yale University with a B.S. in Cognitive Science and a certificate in Education Studies. Having grown up in Shanghai, China, I am passionate about supporting low-income families and Asian American communities. My research and clinical interests center undergraduate students, as I am committed to expanding access to mental health care in colleges and supporting equitable persistence in STEM. My two co-authored publications can be found at https://doi.org/10.3389/feduc.2025.1562677 and https://doi.org/10.3389/feduc.2026.1655426. Through my graduate training and future career as a mental health counselor, I am excited to translate this academic commitment into evidence-based support that helps students from all backgrounds thrive in higher education. Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
