Our Students

I am Daisy Dai/戴心弦, and I also go by Sum Yin (my Cantonese name) since I was born and raised in Hong Kong. My current interests include One Health medicine, providing linguistically and culturally sensitive client communication, and research on transcultural/translingual veterinary education. As an Engaged Cornell Scholar in Indonesia, I was able to learn the organizational aspect of conservation medicine, which inspired me to make impact later on in the veterinary field through networking and organizational politics. Through research opportunities with the water buffalo and Javan Rhino DNA, visitation to slow loris sanctuary, and engagement in the community development projects organized by ALeRT, I was able to learn about the endangered native animals in Indonesia while also building community with the locals. It was certainly an eye-opening experience being able to participate in Engaged Cornell Indonesia!
