Modeling the “Model Minority”: scientists push for more health research focused on Asian Americans
Modeling the “Model Minority”: scientists push for more health research focused on Asian Americans
Through the Yale Daily News' Summer Journalism Program, I had the pleasure of speaking with public health and sociology professors about increasing diversity in the realm of social and health science. As an Asian American woman interested in the field of social science research, this was an especially meaningful article for me to write.
"There are days when being a woman in academia is tough. There are days when being an Asian person in academia is tough. And there are days when being an Asian woman is tough"
-Professor Tiffany Yip
My article was named the top news story of the 200 submitted.
"With the rise of anti-Asian hate during the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent overturning of race-conscious college admissions, the Asian American community has been launched into the national discourse in recent years. The effects these events have on the community are yet to be studied, which has led these researchers to argue that the time is now to give visibility to the previously invisible."

I had the pleasure of speaking with Newton South alums on their musical journey to the big stage.
"From a couch in band member Zach’s dimly lit basement to the Boston Calling stage, the Greater Boston-based soul pop band, Couch, is on the rise."
Editorials
Recent editorial I helped write with my Co, Bella, on the Newton Teachers strike. We challenged unspoken rules here: we didn't propose a "call to action" as most of the Roar's editorials do. We purposefully zoomed in on our community rather than zooming out to find the solution.

From the Editor's Desk: My immigrant parents’ courage inspires my artistry
"I wonder if my parents’ first step off the plane and into their new lives felt like the first stroke onto a blank canvas, a paintbrush in their hands, a dream in their minds and the courage to make their mark."

From the Editor's Desk: Co-Editors in Chief Emma and Bella grapple with what control means to them.
"I’ve since learned to make peace with the Laws of Entropy rather than running from it: it is the natural tendency of things to lose order."

Some know him from peeks into the glass fishbowl room in the 3000s; others know him from vlogs posted by the 603whateverthisis Instagram account run by a group of his precalculus students. Ryan Normandin, a beloved math and science teacher, has become widely known for his rigorous yet supportive teaching style and equally accepting personality.

When the Moon Became Full Again
When the Moon Became Full Again
I come from a line of women unafraid to take up space—literally.
