About Me

CURRENT MISSION

survive school for another year

ABOUT ME

I'm a PhD student. I love backpacking and working abroad -- before adding Australia to my list, I've worked in Malaysia and South Korea. When I tell people that I am a grad student in psychology, most people think I want to be a clinical psychologist or a counsellor -- but I am actually studying social psychology! If you want to know more about it, I'd be happy to tell you. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I love being in grad school and studying social psychology -- eventually I hope to better understand social issues and find ways to make the world a better, more equitable place.

When I'm not working, I'm usually thinking about travelling, cooking, and eating. :D

Interests

Photography. Cooking. Eating. Travelling. Backpacking. Psychology.

Travelling and talking to new friends over delicious local food is the best thing! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a TV junkie! I watch: The Simpsons, The Office, Community, 30 Rock, HIMYM, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and South Park. Oh, and I'm still mourning the end of Breaking Bad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving in New Zealand!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you a little bit about social psychology. If you don't mind human experimentation, we can cook a meal together! (I looove cooking!) Bonus points if you can teach me a thing or two! :D

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, China, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Canada, China, Malaysia, South Korea
