Graduation Year: 2026

I'm from Frisco, TX and I'm part of the University Scholars Program, a merit scholarship that facilitates students with interdisciplinary academic interests. This past year, I worked as a research assistant in the Woldorff Lab through the Cognitive Neuroscience Research Internship (CNRI), where I studied attention and conscious perception through collecting EEG data. Outside of class, I serve in the Polis Center for Politics Student Committee, play piano in the chamber music program, and sing with Temptasians, Duke’s Asian cultural a capella group.
