About Us

Grace Wong, OTD, OTR/L, LRC

Occupational Therapist

Pronouns: She, her, hers
Education: Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD), University of Southern California; Lifestyle Redesign Certified
Professional Interests: Time management, planning and organization, personal finance, career/post-graduation exploration
Hobbies/Self-Care: Playing video games (currently playing Metaphor: ReFantazio), traveling, eating good food, and doing as much of it as possible with friends!
Wellness Tip: Following the sage advice of David Allen, you want to use your mind to create and implement your awesome ideas, not hold things in your mind! Brain dump your thoughts, obligations, tasks, and everything else into an app or doc you can rely on (Personal favorite: TickTick). The only thing you want on your mind is what you've chosen to be on your mind. This helps boost focus and reduce stress.

Special Projects Manager

Professional Interests: As a project manager, I love planning and delivering SWS programs via predictive, hybrid, or agile approaches. Oftentimes, you'll find me collaborating with campus partners and piloting new, fun ways to integrate wellness into students' lives (i.e. Mocktail Carnival, wellness workshops, panel discussions). I am passionate about student well-being, and I envision Caltech's definition of "wellness" growing beyond physical health and mental health. I'm always open to meet, listen, and chat about the 8 dimensions of wellness, so please do not hesitate to reach out. Your voice matters.
Hobbies/Self-Care: I enjoy serving the youth and children, volunteering in developing countries, and spending time with my community. For self-care, I eat, sleep, travel, watch Korean dramas, listen to diverse genres of music, play my vinyl records, and catch up with friends and family over food. I certainly love (I know; love is a strong word) food!
Wellness Tip: Occasionally, stop to spend some time in meditation and reflection. Ask yourself questions like "Why do I love what I do?" Refresh and refind joy and purpose in your job, relationships, hobbies, and more.
