"Asian American Studies is about challenging yourself, venturing beyond self doubt, and ultimately exploring your soul's desire for life long mastery."

I started my college career at CSUN as a Business Marketing major. I was introduced to Asian American Studies during my freshman year and I immediately grew fond of the subject. AAS allowed me to discover abilities and talents that I had yet to realize. I am truly grateful to teach for the AAS Department and work with many of the same faculty that were instrumental to my success.
