So... You Wanna know about me?
Hello there! I am:
A SOCIAL MEDIA AND DIGITAL STRATEGY RESEARCHER
Research is me-search, and it's definitely true for me. I've been always interested in accessible and affordable technology, such as social media, because anyone can use it to make social and creative changes. Ever since I came to the U.S. when I was a 10 years old, internet was my creative outlet to tell my stories. This experience sparked my curiosity to study user experience on social media; thus, I leverage quantitative and qualitative data to tell creative stories that can make an impact on people's lives. For example, I'm very proud of my YouTube study where I conducted a content analysis and an experiment to identify how beauty YouTubers share their personal and cultural stories as well as motivate their viewers to be interested in video production. I'm passionate about continuing this work to identify more ways to improve social media and empower social media users.
A SOCIAL CHANGEMAKER.
I strongly believe that everyone has creativity, and by applying it to their social media usage, anyone can tell their authentic stories to empower others. Especially at this time of social challenges, I’m focused on amplifying marginalized groups’ messages. As a racial minority woman from an immigrant family, I’m proud to be a first-generation college student and faculty to share my experience and help cultivate spaces that can help others to become changemakers.

Have you taken the 16 personalities test yet? If not, you should! It's more accurate than BuzzFeed quizzes. According to this test, I'm a commander!
"Commanders are natural-born leaders. People with this personality type embody the gifts of charisma and confidence, and project authority in a way that draws crowds together behind a common goal. However, Commanders are also characterized by an often ruthless level of rationality, using their drive, determination and sharp minds to achieve whatever end they’ve set for themselves. Perhaps it is best that they make up only three percent of the population, lest they overwhelm the more timid and sensitive personality types that make up much of the rest of the world – but we have Commanders to thank for many of the businesses and institutions we take for granted every day."
