Jocelyn is currently a second-year Counseling Psychology PhD student. She graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a B.A. in Psychological & Brain Sciences and Public Health. While living in Baltimore, she became engaged in multiple nonprofit programs and learned about the power communities had in tackling systemic issues and their trickle effects. These experiences had sparked a passion for social justice and community strength-based approaches. After graduation, she worked at the Horga Lab for three years, exploring the neural mechanisms of psychosis in patients with schizophrenia and at high-risk for psychosis. Her research interests include exploring the Asian-American identity and how its intersection may play a role in factors associated with depression and anxiety such as help-seeking, resilience, burn-out, and self-stigma. Currently, she is completing her first externship placement at a university counseling center, working with undergraduate and graduate students. She has found joy in collaborating with the Bronx community, engaging with its vibrant youth population and their parents.
