<aside> 🦮 My Korean name is Seung Eun (승은), but I go by the English name Sue.
My research centers on identifying how life stressors/adversities influence well-being and health, and how psychosocial factors buffer or exacerbate such pathways.
Outside of research, I like to cuddle with my furry companion Siru, dance, listen to podcasts, read books, and go to stand-up comedies.
