Hii, I am a sophomore at SBU. My biggest goal is to study mental disabilities (psychopathology) and the neurology of understanding them. My hobbies are painting and hiking. I love exploring outside, and being bad at directions helps that aspect haha.

Joined in Spring 2022
Hometown: Staten Island, NY
Major: Psychology
My name is Melanie Choe, and I am a freshman majoring in psychology on the pre-medical track. I joined The Humanology Project to help spread awareness about the stigmas and misinformation surrounding mental health. Through THP, I can learn about the damage these stigmas have brought to those who endure obstacles that affect their mental and emotional well-being. In my free time, I like to listen to music and hang out with my friends.

Most people who meet me immediately know two things about me: I’m on the Stony Brook Dance Team, and I love to read! When I’m not at practice, cheering at basketball/football games, or curled up with a good book, I love to coach at my former gymnastics team, rewatch Marvel movies, and hang out with my friends. I joined The Humanology Project because as a former elite athlete, I saw the toll that ignored mental health and negative stigmas on mental illness gave young athletes. I am extremely passionate about limiting eating disorders and body dysmorphia problems in athletes, whose primary focus should be on being healthy and strong. I’m so excited to be a part of this!
