Abstract
Abstract Successfully navigating my career has been a journey through uncharted waters amidst opposing waves—often being “the first” and “different”. My journey was one of contrasts—being an Asian American woman from an immigrant, working class family to becoming a psychologist, executive director, health care administrator, scholar, and academic dean. I often felt bewilderment and moral outrage at the stereotypes and discrimination I encountered—deemed the exception, both an insider and outsider. Ultimately, my courage and cultural pride led to my transformation and transcendence and a recognition that the personal is professional—my message is: Be there, speak up, and follow your vision!
