Staff Spotlight

What is your role at UCSF?

I’m an Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator with the UCSF Memory and Aging Center’s Clinical Trials Program.

What is your favorite movie and book?

My favorite movie of all time is Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. I come from a Chinese-American family with grandparents who immigrated here, and I love multiverse concepts, so this movie really resonated with me. The best books I read in 2023 were Pachinko by Min Jin Lee and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.

What is your favorite number and why?

13 is my favorite number because my dad’s birthday is April 13th. Both of my siblings and I used 13 as our sports number growing up we’ve all won championships while wearing that number! I think it’s lucky rather than unlucky.

What is your favorite sport?

I grew up playing basketball, so that has a special place in my heart, but ultimate frisbee has become a great passion of mine since I started in my sophomore year of college. It’s an incredible place and sport for community, competition, and friendship.

Where is the best place you’ve traveled to and why?

I spent two weeks road tripping through New Zealand last year and it was one of the best travel adventures I’ve created for myself thus far!

What is your personal philosophy?

I believe that being positive is so powerful on so many levels.

What is your favorite thing to do?

I love walking around a new city or area with no plans and just letting the day unfold!
