Resident Bio

I’m from Dallas, Texas and partly grew up in Taiwan. I studied biological engineering in college and went to medical school at University of Texas at Southwestern. I really  liked GW’s program during the interview because the program not only has great clinical training but also a sense of community. I have become interested in public health and physician advocacy over the years, and GW offers a unique Residency Fellowship in Health Policy (RFHP) program that I was able to participate in and expand my understanding of the health care system in the United States.
