Department of Gerontology
University of Massachusetts Boston
I am a Ph.D. student in Gerontology at the University of Massachusetts Boston. I completed a master's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Human Development at the University of Pennsylvania, following my earlier training in Child Development and Family Studies at Seoul National University and Kyunghee University in Korea. Recently, I worked as a Research Associate at the Population Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
As a gerontologist, my research aims to identify effective ways to enhance cognitive health and well-being in later life by promoting meaningful social engagement and supportive interpersonal relationships among older adults.
