Favorite quotes/sayings?
“We’re probably not gonna win this one. In fact, we’re definitely not gonna win this one. But we’re not gonna quit, either. And if we do lose, you need to know that doesn’t make you losers. You learn as much about who you are and what you’re made of from failing as you do from success. Maybe more.” — The Big Bang Theory

Hobbies/hidden talents?
Cooking, dancing, and writing

If you could study any random thing other than HDFS/MFT, what would it be?
School Psychology, especially Bullying Prevention and Intervention. I worked as an anti-bullying practitioner before, so, I hope to combine theory and research findings into practice to design better anti-bullying programs.

What advice would you offer to someone thinking about graduate school?
There is no best graduate program in the world, the one fits you the most is the best. It’s okay to be unperfect but be sure to learn your lesson and move forward.
