  1. “And people willing to read over research proposals, not only my friends willing to read them over and even my friends, your sister, that can't read a scientific research proposal, someone who's willing to go out to lunch with me and just laugh for an hour as a break, but there's always such a sense of community here that I need in order to have success on the soccer field, doing research, whatever that is. You very much, you need that support system.”

  2. “Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Caltech, Washu, amongst others. But when I came out of the room, my parents said, where'd you get? You know, where are you going? And I told them I wouldn't tell them I wanted them to guess. And I wanted them to guess where they think I'm going and where they wanted me to go. And they said, you know, we think you're going to Northwestern. We wanted you to go to Notre Dame. And I was like, Psych, you know, going to Notre Dame, which, and I asked them why, you know, why did you want me to go there? And they said, they went on all my college tours and things with me. And they said, we wanted you to go there because we thought they had, you know, the strongest community. And it sounds cheesy at sometimes in a very parent-like answer. But it is ultimately what I have found at Notre Dame and what I love the most is there is such a huge sense of community whether that's I needed funding to go to India and I have so many different funding opportunities”

  4. “I'm a very avid hiker and backpacker, and I've always looked at ways to tie into my love of nature and the outdoors, to my love of health, healthcare, and disability. And so I've been reading a lot about, I'm in anthropology, medicine, health culture, medicine anthropology class. It's a great title. And I'm looking at intersecting those two loves because a lot of people do find increased health when they get outside, basically. And so in the event that I either don't get the Fulbright or just choose not to pursue the Fulbright, I'm looking at exploring work in Alaska with doing intersecting, getting people with disabilities outside, seeing if it's possible to get them modified equipment that allows them to hike or even kids with autism having a lot of success with getting them outside somewhere where it's quieter and they don't have the pressures of having to act within social norms in society. So that's something I'm definitely, it's on my radar of pursuing.”

  5. “And focusing on those details, you don't realize how important they are until you had the wrong foot and back, which gave up the headshot, which gave up the fight. And, you know, you ask yourself, why did I have the wrong foot and back? It always comes down to some level of your training. And that's what they say you don't necessarily rise to an occasion when you're in a severe situation like that. You do. You resort to your level of training. It's not rising to the occasion. It's looking back on what you did to prepare yourself. And so details in my everyday life, I always think about how could I be better in a little detail, whether that's drinking enough water, getting the right nutrition, it does come down to the details for me on a lot of things.”

  6. “Start with what I think a lot of people can do that's like a pretty easy fix is the wrong word, but a pretty easy place to start. Was always told growing up, and it is something that I don't think I was just innately born with. I think it was something that Taekwondo and my parents instilled in me was always having an internal locus of control that if you're having a hard time with something, it's not the class is too hard. It's you're looking at it the wrong way and it's not the fight was too hard or they were better than me. I can be better. So just having the notion that greatness does start from within yourself and you can You can work harder. You can study harder whatever it is. Just having that internal reference of this is what I need to do going forward, not this is how the world needs to change around me. This is what I need to do. I think that's one of the reasons I do have a lot of success in different areas. But also just we talk a lot about the details in almost anything I do research comes down to details, sports come down to details.”

  7. “I do despise downtime. I always need to be working out, add a book, something. And I think it's one of the reasons I do love India is even though India is very, it's a slower pace than America. But when you finish the day, your body truly tells you we live the day. Like you are exhausted. There is no easy anything in India. There's no easy meal. There's no easy water. I mean, everything you do is a struggle in some way. I mean, you're walking and you think you're swimming because it's so hot and humid. And I love finishing a day knowing that I'm empty. If I finish, if I just like read in my bed and then drank some water and ate, I would just, I would, oh gosh, that would never happen. So I love finishing a day knowing that I have lived the day. I want my body to know that I've lived a day.”

  8. “My parents say that all of my success comes back to Taekwondo, that the reason I'm good at soccer, the reason I am good at research and math and everything comes back to their choice to put me in Taekwondo when I was four. And I do. I think it comes back to the notion of there is no backward. You don't retreat in a battle. You don't retreat in a fight. At least I don't with my fighting style. And I think that has very much carried over into, I'm always looking for what's the next step? Where can I go forward from this? You know, where can I take my research next? It's not okay to just truncate something and say I'm done here. I mean, I love knowledge. There's always more knowledge to be had. So whether that's in sports or in research, I always want to go forward.”

  9. “If you get knocked out in a headshot, then you are considered done. But I'd be the one most likely to get knocked. I'm really short for my weight class. They call me the tank. So I'm just this little, I have no off switch when I fight. I go forward and I plow through people. And a lot of the girls I fight in my weight class are these extremely elegant tall fighters who know that I'm an easy headshot target. And so they wait and wait and wait and try to drill me in the head. But I just don't know how to stop. I've never stopped in a fight and I think that freaks people out when I fight them.”

  10. “My most memorable fight. I had some really good ones in England, ones that I wasn't expecting on winning or even having half a chance in that I did then win. And I was abroad with a lot of my close friends, so it was cool for them to be a part of the process. Because usually take one dough, I mean, it is a team sport, but it also, in the end, you're the only person in a ring when you're fighting. But it was fun to get to share a lot of those victories with my friends. And it was a big, they would come out in all their US gear and chant America America.”

  11. “Hello Pakistan, it was let's go to Pakistan and to which I had no, I did not have enough vocabulary to say actually that's probably not the best idea for me and I mean we slept in the desert they just when the camels got tired you just pulled off and there was the sand dune and Pakistani sand dunes.”

  12. “I was considering putting that one up there also. I was in a town called Giselmer. It's in the desert and you live in a fort. It used to be part of the Mughal Empire. So I was living in this sand castle. That's what I called it. And we got a hold of local camel nomads and they took us out into the desert and our guides didn't speak a ton of English and we knew bits and pieces of Hindi and I'm the lead camel of our camel safari and my guide turned around and said Hello Pakistan and I'm thinking we're not currently in Pakistan. I know I think I think I know that we're still in India and then I was going through my words and I realized the Hindi word for let's go is cello and that in the town they drop the seas of words the sea sound and so when he was saying”

  13. “Exactly. Oh, it's exactly they're such. Oh, the trade is insane. And I mean, opiums are greeting like chai tea. When you come into someone's house, the first thing they offer you is opium. And that's just, that's normal.”

  14. “The Himalayas, the eastern Himalayas for a while, and we come to like there's several, quote, border checks, men holding guns next to signs, and you stop in rapid Hindi's exchanged and you keep going. And they kept pointing at me in the car and I'm like, okay, all is well. And we came to a stop sign basically, and they were like, oh, we're in Myanmar. And I got to go to the Burmese markets. And so not only was it fantastic to be just in the eastern Himalayas, but the whole the cultural exchange of going into Burma was just fascinating. And I'm there reading what items are and aren't allowed between the borders. And so one of their most allowed items is opium. It's like top of the list of things you trade at market.”

  15. “Met him on the street. No, one of my friends is family friends with him. And in India, the guest is a god. And even if I said my cousin's brother's uncle's son is in a city in India, and my friend is coming, they will put you up like you are their child. I mean, the hospitality is truly insane. So Bishop was a friend of a friend of a friend and took me in like his daughter. was daughter. He would introduce me as his daughter, which hilarious for a Catholic bishop, but woke up one day and bishop house and went downstairs for breakfast and he said, We're gonna see if we can sneak you into Myanmar. And I was like, great. He said, you know, you're a vellum bee, which translates to clear water, which is what they call white people. He said, okay, so you're a vellum bee. So it won't be an issue. You can just walk on over and all will be well. So we drive through.”

  17. “I grew up reading, it's when I was younger, a book called The Silent Boy, a small book by Lois Lowry. Oh, I read a lot of Lois Lowry, but The Silent Boy specifically is about a boy in a small farming community that he can't talk, has a developmental disability not otherwise specified. He gets involved with, they think he murdered a cat. I mean, it is a children's book, and it's this mystery of did he actually murder this cat. And it sort of explores the difficulties of being an individual with a disability in a community and how he interacts with the different levels of being in trouble and just a phenomenal book.”

  18. “In the US, sort of like an antidepressant, if you don't think an antidepressant will work for you, it likely will not work. It is. Slightly placebo, and they've actually started finding that with seizures that they have a significantly higher. Better outcome if they get a chance to see a shaman in America than a biomedical practitioner. And so any model that takes into account people's own culture, and I think America is becoming a little too focused on our model is the best model, and especially because we're becoming a minority majority, it's increasingly important to offer what we consider alternative models.”

  19. “India, for example, if an Indian American, if an India comes to America and they get a seizure disorder or they're diagnosed with a seizure disorder here, they'll interact with the health care system in a way that our doctors will offer them X, Y, and Z medicine. Whereas for them a seizure disorder at home is treated by shamans and it's considered their soul leaves their body and they need a shaman to go find their soul and put it back in their body. And so they actually, there's been research on it. They will not respond to the medications that actually a lot of medications”

  21. “When you're in the shadows of these corporate leaders that come into these massive hotels that are your backyard, phenomenal book, and then the health gap is written about social determinants to healthcare. So increasingly America is looking at the, it's called the biomedical model, which is it's always something in your body, a molecule in your body, and it's looking at how many social determinants there are to healthcare, that how different cultures define health is differently, and that America specifically ours might not be the end all, and we don't necessarily have the best health system.”

  22. “Yeah, oh, there's always books. One of the most informative books on India I've read is called Behind the Beautiful Forevers, and it's a book that explores slum areas in Mumbai. And basically they're in the shadows of these just giant hotels. They're technically squatters that live on in the garbage lands right behind the hotels and it explores families that live there and what it means to grow up in the shadow of that much wealth. So it's one thing to be in rural India where all you know is that extreme rural poverty, but another in urban India when you're India such a unique case study because they do have an incoming surplus of wealth, but they also have this huge income gap. And so what it means to grow up as your profession being a garbage picker, they don't have an actual garbage industry in India. You just, you get paid for picking up trash on the spot. And so what does it mean to be that?”

  24. “and looking at it specifically in Tamil Nadu. So last summer when I was looking at specifically social and cultural barriers to accessing the model and I was traveling all throughout India I realized that every state had a very specific answer so in Kerala they focused a lot on marriage of children and if a person with a disability isn't marriage eligible then why would you ever pour an ounce of resource into that child because you need someone to carry on the family name whereas in Tamil Nadu the state I'm hoping to go back to that never came up as an answer and sort of every state gave me a unique look at my question so I'm going back in the hopes of focusing on one area in India”

  25. “I do research on the community based rehabilitation model. It's called CBR, and it's the World Health Organization promotes the CBR model for low resource areas to offer services for people with disabilities predominantly. And the model is you train local community workers. So if there's a hospital that's not available, you're too rural to have a hospital-centric model. You train workers to make the community basically a hospital, an offering of care for people that can't get into large cities for that care. In India, people, for whatever reason, are only about 50% of people use CBR services in a place where CBR is offered. And so I'm looking at differences throughout India of why people don't use CBR when it is available. So looking at the low participation rate.”

So if that is going somewhere with the soccer team here, that took me to France and Monaco this summer and I was never expecting on going to France and Monaco, but another phenomenal cultural experience. Future of travel, I am in love with India and I very much hope to return probably through a Fulbright research fellowship to continue the research I've been doing.”

  28. “Yeah, and I mean, cultural differences are plenty in India, to say the least. But in Tamil Nadu, which is the state that Chennai is in, they speak Tamil. No one understands Hindi at all. And in Tamil, when you greet someone, I mean, in America, you greet someone high. How are you doing? What's your name? If you're meeting someone. And if you meet someone in Tamil Nad, you say Sapthia, which is, have you eaten? And then the person responds with a list of what they've eaten. And then you say, so, sorry, Saptia, and they'll say yes. If you said you haven't eaten, then it's like literally the end of the world, and they'll start cooking on the spot. If you say, so normally you would say, yes, I've eaten and they'll ask you what you've eaten, then you get the laundry list, including numbers of things. That's very important. So if you say idli, I ate idly, they'll ask you how many idly and you need to respond, at least with a number bigger than four.”

  29. “So the first time I went, I was predominantly in Chennai, which is southeast England, and I was working at an NGO for kids with disabilities. It's a school, it's a community center, sort of a jack of all trades. They do everything. And I was teaching an early intervention class for kids aged zero to six, doing physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy. They considered training of a middle aged American enough to be a professional so I was pretty much understood to be a doctor, which was hilarious, but the first time I was there, it was a lot of time spent in Chennai. I also got chances to go to the most southwestern state called Kerala, which a beautiful, lots of backwaters, river canals, coconut trees galore. And then I got to go north up to Darjeeling where I taught Taekwondo, spend some time in the shadows of the Himalayas. And I love mountains. So that was where I...”

And my parents, I mean, opportunities when I was young, we went to like 48 of the states. My parents are obsessed with the national parks. But when the opportunity came up to start going international, I couldn't pass up that opportunity.”

I mean, it's insane what they do, but really high-level black belts. I mean, not only the discipline of going two hours a day, but going two hours a day with the right mentality. It's just, it comes down to a lot of discipline at that point.”

  32. “Yeah, during like heavy tournament season, you're looking at two hours a day every day. And the first hour is all cardio strength training. We'd go on team run. So when I would fight for like the Washington State's team for like our national team, we have national tournaments. You train with your home Dojong, which is maybe 25 of us. Let's say we're going to nationals 6 a.m. You're up and working out. The second hour is strategies of fighting. So you put on all your hogu, your chest protector, your headgear, and your sparring is the term for it. In the round, which is you spar one person, you go immediately to the next for about another hour. And then we practice. We have forms that we do in competition. So it's a series of moves, blocks, punch, kicks that you do for technique and style. So there are two different ways to compete at the national level. And I did both.”

  33. “I was in Darjeeling just for about a week and I would wake up early and go to Tekwondo and teach them. They used to teach, I think they still currently teach, but the men and women were taught separately. And the first thing I did was say that it was one class. And the girls thought that was just insane. But I think they very much like training with the guys. And when I was there, they had a belt test. And one of them was testing for a black belt. And in order to legally test for a black belt through the World Takewindow Federation, you have to be tested by someone who's two degrees higher than you. And their masters actually weren't second degree black belt, so they couldn't legally test her. And so when I showed up as a fourth dawn, they were like, fantastic, we're running the test tomorrow. And so I got to sit in on a black belt test in India, which was unique to say the least.”

And so they turn the dojong over to me and language barrier at that time was a real thing, but Taekwondo is to an extent an international language. We do the same Pumsei, like forms, same techniques. They have similar names. So we conversed in like this English Korean Hindi blend of languages, but yeah.”

I was walking around a little hill station called Darjeeling and I saw people wearing doe box what we wear when we fight so I followed them and ended up at a dojong and I watched for a while and I pulled out you get a card it's actually Korean issued ID and I have a fourth degree issued card basically and I whipped I had it on me I don't know why I whipped it out and gave it to their master and immediately not only were people bowing to me but”

  37. “Someone were actually attacking you right now, you need to let everyone around you know that you're being attacked, you're going to yell loud. And it's attitude for me in Take One Dough. And that just carries over into every aspect of your life is taking things, knowing when to take things seriously, having us on and off switch with. Your attitude basically.”

  38. “Attitude, that's a great question. I'm always told that I can have the most serious face at times. Like I'll go smile the serious face and my friends tell me it freaks them out a lot. But attitude for me comes down to the ability to say that any situation is a real situation. So when you're fighting, you're obviously not fighting for your life. If I tapped out of a ring, fights over, I'm not in any actual danger, but it's having the mindset of convincing yourself that any situation is a very serious situation if you want it to be. So you're training you're not immediately applying it to anything, but in the moment you need to convince yourself, you need to have enough attitude to, I mean, we yell. It's called a key up. And they tell you you key up with attitude. It's not just you're not just joking around. It's a little yell.”

  39. “A very definite fighter mentality, and what fighter mentality comes down to, the two words we have in our Dojong are perseverance and attitude. And I think just starting at the age of four, when every single motion you do is supposed to be done not only with attitude, but a sense of integrity that if no one's watching you when I was four, our grandmaster would step out of the room and say 100 push-ups, but no one is watching you do a hundred push-ups, and it's the sense of on-training and off of training you're accountable for your own actions. And that's very much a fighter mentality of it doesn't matter if someone's holding you accountable for your work, you still, the work ethic of Taekwondo is insane. It's day in, day out. It's a year-round sport, no off days. So you're constantly working at the top of your performance level.”

And two summers ago tested and received my fourth grade master black belt.”
