Adolescence can be a tough time of life, particularly in our increasingly interconnected and globalized world. Yasmine Nahim ’18 wondered whether multi-ethnic teens faced more challenges than their mono-ethnic peers. To find out, she is looking into the differences in the psychological well-being of mono-ethnic Korean adolescents and their multi-ethnic peers with one Korean and one non-Korean parent in South Korea.

To fund her Summer of Science research, Nahim received a Frances Velay Fellowship, which supports young women scientists.

She wrote about her research experiences .

"Aside from the ways in which this program can help me academically, I also think that the skills I learn can be used outside of the classroom setting," she wrote. "One important thing that I have learned is independence, but I think it can also be just as important to know when to ask for help."
