Ph.D. Student in Developmental Psychology · University of Maryland, Baltimore County

I study culturally grounded pathways to resilience, purpose, and thriving among Asian and multicultural youth and their families — with a focus on family processes, spirituality, identity, and community strengths. As a translational researcher, I carry these findings into family-, faith-, and community-based programs.

About

A developmental scientist trained in psychology and theology, with a cultural lens on how immigrant families thrive

I am a doctoral researcher in developmental psychology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Culture, Child, and Adolescent Development Lab; advisor: Dr. Charissa S. L. Cheah). My work asks how culturally meaningful strengths — family relationships, racial-ethnic socialization, spirituality, sense of purpose, and community belonging — help young people recover, find meaning, and thrive within racialized, immigrant, and multicultural contexts.

My current research centers on Asian American adolescents and families, including racial discrimination, racial-ethnic socialization, parent–adolescent communication, and mental health. Long term, I aim to bridge Asian American developmental science in the United States with culturally grounded research on multicultural youth in Korea, and to translate evidence into family-, school-, faith-, and community-based prevention and intervention.

My scholarship began with questions about purpose and identity at Cornell, expanded to racial and cultural development at Penn, deepened through theological training in spirituality and meaning-making, and now centers on culturally grounded resilience and positive development among Asian and multicultural youth.

About Me

Where my questions come from

Growing up in New Zealand, Canada, and the United States as a Korean immigrant, I was fortunate to meet people from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, but I always found it difficult to fit in. I struggled with the stress of the language barrier, acculturation, and racial microaggressions, and the lack of safe spaces and emotional support intensified my feeling of isolation. Despite these hardships, I was able to become resilient as I cultivated my faith in Asian American religious communities. It was there that I first began to ask what my life was for, and that question has guided my path ever since.

My journey into research began at Cornell University, where I witnessed many Asian American peers suffering from depression and anxiety with an added layer of racial stress. In Dr. Anthony Burrow’s Purpose and Identity Processes Lab, I helped design a purpose intervention and saw how a sense of purpose can serve as a robust source of resilience. At the University of Pennsylvania, I developed a mixed-method study of Korean international students under the guidance of Dr. Michael Nakkula, and found that a sense of purpose rooted in faith buffered the negative effects of racial microaggressions on self-esteem. Through this research, I realized that religiosity could be a key culturally specific resource for Asian Americans.

Desiring to understand this resource more deeply, I pursued an M.Div. at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and a Th.M. in Educational Ministries at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. My research had shown me that faith was a critical variable in how Asian American youth find purpose, and I wanted to understand it from the inside before building interventions around it. Alongside my studies, I served as a youth and young adult pastor and spiritual mentor in Korean American churches and took part in short-term missions in several countries. Those years taught me how faith communities actually function in the lives of immigrant families, and they are why I can walk into a church and be trusted as an insider rather than an outside researcher. This training is also why I take religiosity seriously as a developmental resource, and why I attend to the ways religious contexts can bring pressure, guilt, or obligation.

Today I am a doctoral student in Applied Developmental Psychology at UMBC, working with Dr. Charissa S. L. Cheah in the Culture, Child, and Adolescent Development Lab. My research examines how Asian American adolescents and parents make sense of racial discrimination together, how faith and family shape a sense of purpose and meaning in life, and how evidence-based programs can be culturally adapted to reach immigrant families. I work closely with Korean American churches and community organizations, because for many families they remain the first place anyone turns for help. My goal is to support Asian American and multicultural youth and families as a culturally informed researcher and professor who walks with them in healing and growth.

Beyond Research

I co-founded COZY, a nonprofit that supports parents and youth facing social, economic, and cultural barriers in the United States and Korea, and I have long served immigrant families, youth, and people experiencing homelessness through churches and community organizations.

Research Program

Culturally grounded pathways to youth resilience and thriving

How do family, faith, and community help young people find purpose and thrive in the face of adversity?

❧

My research program treats culture as a developmental system — values, histories, language, family roles, spirituality, socialization, and institutions, not merely race or ethnicity. Across three connected lines, I examine risk without defining youth by risk, centering assets, recovery, adaptation, purpose, contribution, and thriving.

Developmental Contexts

Racialization, discrimination, migration, acculturative demands, multicultural stigma, family and school challenges

Culturally Meaningful Assets

Family relationships, racial-ethnic socialization, identity, spirituality, purpose, community belonging, critical consciousness

Resilience Processes

Meaning-making, coping, co-regulation, social support, hope, identity integration, recovery

Developmental Outcomes

Emotional well-being, mental health, resilience, purpose, positive youth development, thriving

Translation

Culturally grounded family, school, faith, community, digital, and policy interventions

Three Research Lines

The program in depth

Line 1

Discrimination, Family Processes, & Mental Health

How do Asian American adolescents and parents experience and make sense of racial discrimination together, and how do racial-ethnic and cultural socialization and parent–child relationships shape youth mental health under racialized stress, in the United States and South Korea?

Building on my doctoral training and strongest publication pipeline, this line treats racial discrimination as an experience that families navigate together. Drawing on longitudinal, dyadic, and qualitative data from Asian American families, I study how parents and adolescents interpret racialized events, which socialization messages and family relationships protect adolescents’ mental health, and how a positive ethnic identity buffers the effects of discrimination. I am extending this work to multicultural families in South Korea, who face a newer and less studied form of minoritization.

Which racial-ethnic socialization messages protect mental health, and under what relational conditions?

How do parents and adolescents converge, diverge, and negotiate meaning after racialized events?

How does a positive ethnic identity buffer the effects of discrimination on adolescents’ mental health?

Line 2

Purpose, Religiosity, & Meaning in Life

How do adolescents and families develop a sense of purpose and meaning, and how do faith and spiritual frameworks, family relationships, and encounters with life adversity shape that development?

Religiosity and purpose are central to the lives of many immigrant youth and families, yet developmental research often measures them narrowly or treats them as peripheral. This line examines the developmental antecedents of purpose, the role of faith communities in the United States and South Korea as contexts that provide immigrant families with mentoring, belonging, and mental health support, and how purpose in turn supports resilience, mental health, and prosocial contribution. It also recognizes that religious contexts can generate pressure, conflict, or obligation.

How do faith, family relationships, and experiences of adversity shape the development of purpose and calling?

How do faith communities support the mental health and belonging of immigrant families?

Can purpose buffer or accelerate recovery from discrimination, family stress, or acculturative stress?

III

Line 3

Culturally Grounded Prevention & Intervention

How can evidence-based programs be culturally adapted for immigrant and ethnic minority families, and how can family-, faith-, and community-based approaches promote youth mental health and thriving in the United States and Korea?

This line translates developmental science into practice. I co-lead the Korean American sample of an NIMHD-funded randomized trial that culturally adapts Youth Mental Health First Aid for Asian American parents, and I have co-facilitated parent workshops on cultural socialization and preparation for bias. My background in ministry and my ongoing partnerships with faith-based organizations such as Mustard Seed Generation allow me to design and deliver programs with faith communities rather than simply recruiting through them. Building toward research leadership in Korea, this line also aims to develop family, school, faith, and community programs grounded in the lived experiences of multicultural youth, families, educators, and faith leaders.

Which cultural adaptations make prevention programs accessible and acceptable to immigrant parents?

How can faith communities serve as partners in delivering youth mental health programs?

How can family, school, faith, and community programs promote resilience and purpose among multicultural youth in Korea?

Methodological Signature

How I study these questions

My work combines longitudinal, dyadic, qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method developmental research, progressively strengthened by culturally responsible emerging methods.

Longitudinal & Dyadic Designs

Multi-wave studies of Asian American families; parent–adolescent dyadic and observational research; structural equation and cross-lagged modeling.

Qualitative & Mixed Methods

Codebook development, bilingual interviewing, culturally informed interpretation, and integration of qualitative and quantitative evidence.

Community-Engaged Research

Recruitment and co-design with families, schools, faith-based organizations, and service providers in the U.S. and Korea, drawing on years of ministry and mentoring within Korean American churches.

Emerging Tools

Culturally responsible AI-augmented qualitative analysis, ecological momentary assessment (EMA), and wearable sensing for daily resilience processes.

Technology enters my research program only when it provides information that a conventional survey, interview, or observation cannot capture adequately. The developmental question remains primary; the device or algorithm remains secondary.

Guiding Commitments

How I approach the work

Strength-based science

Examine risk without defining youth by risk — center assets, recovery, purpose, and contribution.

Culture as a developmental system

Values, histories, language, family roles, spirituality, and institutions — not just race or ethnicity.

Families as systems

Parents and adolescents as interdependent partners who make meaning of culture, race, and faith together.

Within-group specificity

Attend to ethnicity, nativity, generation, language, migration history, religion, and family structure.

Faith communities as partners

Churches and faith-based organizations as trusted partners in research and prevention, not only as recruitment sites.

Responsible innovation

Use AI, EMA, and wearables only when they improve understanding — addressing privacy, bias, validity, and equity.

COZY

Creating Opportunities, Zero Barriers for Children, Youth and Families

Nonprofit · Incorporated in Maryland

COZY stands for Creating Opportunities, Zero Barriers for Children, Youth and Families. I co-founded COZY in 2026 with fellow developmental researchers in the United States and Korea, out of a shared concern: parents today are surrounded by anxiety-driven, achievement-focused parenting advice, yet trustworthy information grounded in developmental science rarely reaches them in everyday life. Families facing social, economic, and cultural barriers have even less access to parenting education, mental health support, and family services.

COZY exists to close that gap: to bring what developmental science knows about parenting, family resilience, and positive youth development to the families who need it most, in both the United States and Korea.

Our slogan

Healthy connection for every family, bright possibility for every child.

My role

Co-founder and President. I lead COZY’s research and program direction and its U.S.–Korea collaboration.

Vision & Mission

What we are working toward

Vision

A society in which every family grows in respect and connection, and every child, regardless of background, can realize their strengths and potential.

Mission

To promote healthy parenting culture and family resilience by translating developmental science, mental health research, and cultural understanding into trustworthy, accessible programs and resources, especially for families who face barriers to support.

Core values

Science you can trust

Every program is grounded in developmental and mental health research and evaluated for its effects.

Families as partners

Researchers, parents, youth, and practitioners design and evaluate programs together.

Zero barriers

Free or low-cost, multilingual, online and in person, so that cost, language, and distance do not decide who gets support.

Strengths first

We respect developmental stages and individual differences, and we build on what children and families already do well.

What we do

Three core areas

Family Programs

Workshops for parents, children, and adolescents

Programs on parent–child communication, emotion regulation, autonomy support, and repair after conflict, offered free or at low cost, in Korean and English, online and in person.

Research & Evaluation

Evidence behind every program

Needs assessments, pre- and post-program evaluation, and U.S.–Korea collaborative research on parenting, family resilience, and positive youth development, so that each program is built on evidence and improved by it.

III

Knowledge Translation

Developmental science in plain language

Accessible explanations of research for parents and practitioners, through newsletters, webinars, fireside chats with researchers, and digital content.

Who we serve

Every family, and especially those left out

We work with parents and children of all backgrounds, and we actively reach out to families who are most often left out of support: multicultural and immigrant families, low-income, single-parent, and grandparent-headed households, and families separated from services by language, geography, or cost. We also support the teachers, counselors, and community workers who stand beside them.

Research meets practice

Why COZY is part of my work

COZY is where my research meets practice. The questions I study, how families make meaning of adversity, how parents and adolescents communicate across cultural and generational distance, and how programs can be adapted so that they actually reach immigrant families, are the same questions COZY works on with parents directly. What we learn in workshops and conversations with families, in turn, shapes what I ask in my research.

Get involved

Build it with us

COZY is a young organization, and we are building it with researchers, practitioners, parents, and students on both sides of the Pacific. If you would like to collaborate, volunteer, or learn more, we would love to hear from you.
