🌐 About MeAs a Korean-born individual with exposure to diverse languages, this multilingual journey has fueled my initial curiosity about the cognitive processes involved in language acquisition with the question of "Why do some grasp foreign languages effortlessly? Do they have different thinking processes or approaches towards the language?"🧠 Academic JourneyMy academic exploration initially led me to Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience. However, my interests broadened to include Linguistics, focusing on language acquisition and the intricate interplay between the mind's representation of knowledge and its realization in the brain.🔍 Research ExperienceI am actively participating in Professor Mara Breen’s CAPSlab, contributing to research on "Why does oral fluency predict silent reading comprehension? Neurocognitive markers of implicit meter as a potential mediator."🎓 Self-Designed Major: PsycholinguisticsTo comprehensively understand the cognitive neuroscientific aspects of speech and language disorders, I am self-designing a major in Psycholinguistics at Mount Holyoke College. This serves as my foundation for future graduate studies, where I aim to research new treatments from a cognitive neuroscientific perspective.🌟 Passion for Helping OthersMy academic commitment is not only a personal pursuit but also a dedication to serving and assisting others, particularly dyslexic or aphasic patients to improve their communication and quality of life. 🚀 Future EndeavorsAs I prepare to enter academia, my excitement lies in expanding the clinical approach. I plan to integrate considerations of music and numerical cognitive abilities into my research, contributing to a more holistic understanding of cognitive processes for effective treatments of speech and language disorders.Connect with me if you share similar interests or if you see potential collaboration opportunities!
