In addition to her work as a doctor and researcher, Chai is also a DJ who performs under the name Red Monkey, a tag inspired by her video game identity that’s now become part of her artistic expression.Through our conversation, Chai shares how her love for psychiatry grew out of her public health studies, how research continues to shape her vision for the future, and how her creative outlets in music and painting fuel her medical career.Chai is living proof that when she sets her mind to something—whether it’s medicine, music, or storytelling—she makes it happen.
