My Experience


About Me

    I was born in New Jersey and spent most of my childhood moving a lot due to my father's job. I have lived in Jakarta, Indonesia and Singapore. I am grateful for these experiences as I was able to immerse myself in many different cultures. This enabled me to adapt to new situations at a young age. Mastering adaptability has allowed me to thrive quickly in every job I have ever picked up. 



   My interest in psychology started early when I realized I was often the friend that my peers came to when they needed a shoulder to lean on. I also loved science, and eventually, the two just clicked; I wanted to study the mind and behavior. 

    In 2016, I lost a friend to suicide. It was then when I realized I wanted to be able to help those in need, both mentally and emotionally. In Asia, mental health is still something that is often disregarded. I believe that becoming apart of the mental health field as an Asian woman would benefit other Asians as it would make them feel more comfortable knowing that I am familiar with the culture and beliefs that surround mental health. I believe that children and teenagers need the most help when it comes to mental health, and thus I would like to specialize in that area one day. I have taken many psychology courses at Stockton University that will help me achieve that goal, some courses include Adolescence Psychology, Cross-cultural Psychology, Developmental Psychology in Childhood and Adolescence as well as a course that I am currently in, Research On Childhood and Adolescence. 

 
    While I do have a major interest in psychology in mental health, I have also grown to love the psychology behind consumer behavior and digital marketing through working with Riddle & Bloom. Riddle & Bloom has allowed me to express myself creatively while being productive and engaging. I love social media and how it is ever-evolving. Everyday I am learning something new just from using it. I love to learn about the different algorithms that social media platforms have to offer and how to use them efficiently to increase interaction with an audience. After I graduate with my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, I plan on taking a gap year to dabble in digital marketing before I pursue my Masters in Social Work. I hope that when the time comes, I will be able to help a company flourish in today's digital environment. 


    However, I am flexible and open to new experiences. New opportunities outside of my comfort zone are what have made me into who I am today. I cannot wait to see where life will take me!

Your Digital Footprint

Image
  A digital footprint is a trail of data you create while using the Internet. It includes the websites you visit, emails you send, and information you submit to online services. A "passive digital footprint" is a data trail you unintentionally leave online. - TechTerms.com     What are footprints? It is the impression left by your feet or shoes when you walk, oftentimes leaving a trail. So, what does it mean when the words "digital" and "footprint" come together?

The Benefits of A Personal Brand & How To Build One

Image
          When people look at your Instagram, what is their impression of you? Or, what about when people look at your Twitter? How are people perceiving you based on the things you put on social media and are those perceptions consistent? If you weren't entirely sure and you answered no to the latter, then we need to talk about personal branding.        Personal branding is the intentional effort you put into your public platforms in order to build a certain perception of yourself for your audience. A personal brand allows people to identify you better, allowing you to be more visible online, which in turn improves networking in the digital world. This can open up a world of opportunities, and I say this based on my own experience. Building a personal brand is what helped me secure the job I have now! Despite personal branding being centered around curating your online image, it doesn't mean you say goodbye to authenticity. The goa...

Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality in The Psychology Field

Image
     Technology has come a long way since it was first developed. From staring at bulky, slow computers to high tech, immersive experiences such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)! Sometimes VR allows you to dive into a whole different world without physically leaving the one you're in now, and other times it allows you explore the very world we live in right now... from different perspectives.       This is a great advancement for many fields. When people think about VR they often think about the Oculus , which is quite pricey and not as accessible to the general public. However, the technology for VR does not always have to be expensive. For example, with Google Cardboard , one could place their phone screen into the affordable device to experience VR.  In Houston, Google Cardboard has given children the opportunity to tour different hospitals before being physically going there, which gives them a sense of comfort.  Th...
