What attracted you to your field of study or research?
The potential to significantly change patients’ lives for the better.
What excites you about the upcoming year?
Imagining the process of learning medicine, learning about the normal and diseased states of the human body, and learning about case studies makes me excited. I’m sure the actual learning process will be even more exciting!
What’s one thing we might be surprised to learn about you?
When I was little, I took lessons in piano, clarinet, auto saxophone, and guitar. Currently, my best musical maneuver is whistling.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Entering a residency program with the same (or even more) passion for medicine, and being well equipped and ready to dedicate my life to a career in medical innovation.
Best piece of advice: With busy schedules, intentionally make time for aerobic exercise, adequate sleep, 30 minutes of light exposure each morning, good nutrition, and social connection. Practice anti-rumination regularly.
Last vacation destination: I visited a few cities in China this past summer. I learned a lot about the culture and the people there. I hope this experience will help me in the future when working with the growing Vancouver population of Chinese descent.
