Prior to joining BHHI, Vivian worked with people experiencing homelessness in the East Bay through the Suitcase Clinic, Berkeley Free Clinic's Street Medicine Team, and the 2022 PIT Count.

During her MPH, Vivian joined BHHI as a student intern with the Health Outcomes of People Experiencing Homelessness in Older Middle Age (HOPE HOME) Study.

She is overjoyed to continue her time at BHHI as a research analyst.
