Nhi Huynh

Psychology master's student in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

I grew up in Saigon, Vietnam. I finished my college in the US, and then decided to move here to Canada to continue my graduate training in Social Psychology.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO SFU?

During my interview, I acknowledged the compatibility between me and my supervisor in terms of our research interest as well as mentoring/working style, which really convinced me to choose this program.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR RESEARCH OR YOUR PROGRAM TO A FAMILY MEMBER?

My research focuses on attachment insecurities and emotion regulation. Currently, I am examining the way we suppress our emotional expressions and how that influences relationship functioning and well-being.

WHAT ARE YOU PARTICULARLY ENJOYING ABOUT YOUR STUDIES/RESEARCH AT SFU?

I really appreciate the supportive and fun community that we have in the social area. I am also grateful and excited for the opportunities to learn about various new topics that have had a great impact on my growth as a young researcher and as a person.
