Certified Personal Medicine Coach

I am a psychiatric and mental health nurse scientist with a sustained commitment to advancing behavioral health outcomes for diverse individuals, families, and communities. Trained in Taiwan (BSN, MSN) and the United States (Ph.D., University of Washington), my clinical background in psychiatric nursing continues to inform my program of research in early prevention of severe mental illnesses. With the Washington State New Journeys early psychosis program, I am evaluating a nurse care coordination model that integrates physical and mental health services.
