Yoon Young Sim
When I had my first breakfast with Michelle, she said she feeds her students well. And she surely did not only with the food but the warmth. How she welcomes her students, staff, and former people to her dinner is really touching.The conversations that happen within our group meetings with her show how much she cares about her people.
Even with the short time period that I worked at the Culture Lab, I felt I really belonged there with her caring vibes and warmth. I still miss the vibes and people back there. I thank her for giving me a wonderful opportunity to get to know her as an amazing researcher, professor, and person! Although now we both will not be at UMD, I hope this relationship will be continued! Hope you will enjoy the West Coast!
