ABOUT ME

I am a general adult psychiatrist, part-time musician, and hobbyist film photographer who has wanted to move to Austin for the past 15 years, and feel incredibly grateful to be able to live in such a vibrant city that cares about creatives and live music!

I earned my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and PhD in Physiology (my dissertation explored how neuroimmune pathways impact hypertension in systemic lupus erythematosus) at the University of North Texas Health Science Center.
I then completed my psychiatry training at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, where I was the 2024 class’s research-track resident, helping to investigate the efficacy of ketamine, lithium, ECT, and experimental drugs in mood disorders.
I created a zine about alcohol use disorder in the Asian American diaspora that was funded by a fellowship from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
In my residency training I spent a year working at the Substance Use Disorder Clinic at Ben Taub Hospital, which is fundamental to how I’ve chosen to practice as an independent psychiatrist.
