Year 3 student in Kinesiology and Health Sciences, University of British Columbia
My name is Queena Cheong and I am currently a third year student studying Kinesiology and Health Sciences at the University of British Columbia. I am passionate about global mental health, as I am particularly drawn to its priorities to improve health and achieve equity in health around the world. To become closer to this, rigorous research is undertaken in order to develop effective community interventions to improve mental health on multiple social-ecological levels- and that is what I hope to be able to do one day! As well, I am remarkably fascinated by cultural influences on mental health and using an intersectionality approach to better understand mental health experiences.
