Behavioral health specialist and researcher blending clinical care, research, and nonprofit leadership.
What I'm looking for
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.
