Health Equity

As someone who immigrated from China to the United States as a teenager, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) heritage means resilience, adaptability, and the experience of growing up between two cultures. Learning a new language, navigating different expectations, and helping my family adjust shaped my perspective early on and taught me the value of empathy, patience, and hard work.

My background has strongly influenced how I approach my work at Fidelis Care. Having seen firsthand the challenges faced by immigrant families, I’m especially mindful of the importance of clear communication, cultural sensitivity, and trust. These experiences guide how I lead my team and how I think about serving our members. We meet people where they are and ensure that they feel seen, heard, and supported.

One of my favorite cultural traditions is celebrating Chinese New Year. It is a time centered on family, reunion, and gratitude. Whether it’s gathering for a meal, exchanging well-wishes, or simply spending time together, the holiday reminds me to reflect on the past year and start fresh. Food has always been an important way my family stays connected. We enjoy making dishes from passed down recipes that express love without words.

AAPI heritage reminds me of my roots and the values passed down to me, which continue to guide both my personal life and my career. I am proud of my heritage, grateful for the opportunities I’ve had, and honored to be part of an organization that celebrates the diversity of its people.
