Bio

I am a resilient and hopeful student attending graduate school in mathematics. I am the child of immigrants and a female student pursuing a career at the intersection of technology and healthcare. My goal is to improve the mental well-being of children and young adults through data-driven policy and business leadership. My background led me to overwork and overextend, thinking that it was normal to struggle and take on debt, which led to difficult life experiences and stress at a young age. As a student now, scholarships would let me recover from grief and loss in my family and contribute more passionately to the communities around me. Receiving scholarships would allow me to take better care of myself and my parents, who have been a large part of my academic journey. Due to financial and health difficulties in my personal life, including the loss of my job, a scholarship would be significantly life-changing. Thank you for visiting my profile and for your support.

    • Dream career goals:

      I began my undergraduate career as an English major, as I was interested in the power of creative storytelling and understanding the world through narrative. I wanted to use my interest in the arts to become a well-rounded physician. My personal experiences have inspired me to be bold in my career ambitions. I am passionate about improving adolescent and young adult mental health on a systemic level and see myself in an interdisciplinary career within media and entertainment. Becoming a CCO or CEO for a values-driven, ethical company is a tangible milestone that I would like to achieve. Big dreams require adequate support, which is why I joined Bold.
