I am a junior in the Nursing and Healthcare Management Dual Degree Program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing and Wharton School of Business.

Clinically, I am particularly drawn to the ICU and operating room, where I hope to practice in the future. Beyond research, my work experience includes working in Penn Medicine’s fundraising and development office, where I supported initiatives that advanced medical education and research, as well as at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, where I contribute to developing alternative payment models for End Stage Renal Disease within the Division of Chronic Care Management.

Looking ahead, I plan to attend law school and pursue a career in healthcare advocacy, law, or administration. My time in Dr. Yu’s lab has deepened my understanding of how nursing research can greatly shape policy and improve lives for patients.
