What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining clinical behavioral health and applied research within an inclusive organization that values evidence-based practice, operational impact, and opportunities to lead programs and teams.

I am a behavioral health specialist and researcher with experience in clinical assessment, crisis counseling, and applied behavioral interventions. I design and conduct research studies, write IRB protocols, analyze data with regression and multilevel models, and prepare manuscripts for journal submission.

I lead operations and human resources for a nonprofit, building recruitment, onboarding, training, and governance processes while managing projects that promote accessibility, research, and community engagement. I also serve as editor-in-chief for a scientific creative magazine responsible for vision, publishing guidelines, budgeting, hiring, and editing.

My work is guided by a commitment to equitable access to care, evidence-based practice, and clear communication; I bring cross-cultural language skills in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin and a track record of improving processes and outcomes in clinical and volunteer-run organizations.
