Her current research interests are on increasing support for English Learner students and students of immigration backgrounds to navigate their education experiences. Kyuwon is also interested in exploring strategies to create an inclusive learning space to support mental well-being and a sense of belonging for LGBTQ+ students.

A fun fact about Kyuwon is that she used to do rock climbing even though she is actually pretty short in height. She says that it's a challenge, but enjoys working through a good challenge!
