About Me!
A big part of what drew me to the Global Studies Program was because of my interest in the health field. From a young age I knew that I wanted to become a doctor, so being able to expand my knowledge on global health and human rights through the Global Studies program will enhance my understanding of the world. Through Global Studies, I have the opportunity to learn about different communities, cultures, and encounter real-world experiences that will allow me to share my knowledge outside of the program.


July 2024. My family and I are wearing traditional Kachin clothing at an ethnic celebratory event in Pennsylvania.
A bit about my background!
I am Kachin. I was born in Malaysia, but my parents are from Myanmar. I immigrated to the US when I was 2, and I hope I can visit sometime in the future!
