A week late, but still feeling the elation of a very memorable (VERY rainy) graduation.
We are nothing without our tribe and I’ve been blessed with the VERY best tribe - cheers to my forever rain shine mentor, @DrRiveraMindt, my partner, & my family who made this possible! 1/2

It’s been a long, winding road, with lots of sacrifices, joys, and detours. It’s also been a road fueled by passion and community. Looking forward to staying on as a neuropsychology post-doctoral fellow at the San Francisco VA medical center (@SFVAMC) for the coming 2 years! 2/2

The ability to speak two languages may improve memory in later life, a new study found. The study, which involved hundreds of older patients, adds to two decades of work suggesting that bilingualism protects against dementia and cognitive decline. nyti.ms/3oTtBQG

Grateful to have worked on this with my @AsianNeuropsych family!
“The knowledge and applicability of [neuropsychology] to persons from Asian descent should not be treated as a ‘niche’ specialty, but one that all persons in the field strive to achieve competence” 👇🏼

Research hints that Alzheimer’s may progress very differently in Black people but because they’ve rarely been included in studies, so little is known. Lisa Barnes (@beyoung40) is trying to change that. My story: statnews.com/2023/03/30/alzh…

Internship has already left an indelible impact- a few lessons:
1) *trust your instincts* & ask for help
2) advocate for yourself & ALWAYS advocate for your patients
3) LISTEN, observe, learn from those around you- supervisors, peers, patients, caregivers
4) above all, be kind
