Her academic background includes a PhD in Clinical Psychology (Fuller Graduate School of Psychology, 2009) and a MA in Theology (Fuller Theological Seminary, 2009). She specializes in clinical neuropsychology, cognitive aging, neurodegenerative disorders, and neuroimaging correlates of cognition and behavior. Her research focuses on the intersection of nutrition, cognitive function, and aging, with notable contributions on omega-3 fatty acids, egg consumption, and vegetarian dietary patterns in elderly populations. Dr. Lee is a licensed clinical psychologist in California and a member of the International Neuropsychological Society (INS).

Her recent work examines how dietary interventions (e.g., omega-3s, walnuts) influence brain structure and cognitive performance in healthy aging. Collaborative studies with the Adventist Health Study-2 highlight her interest in lifestyle factors impacting aging populations. Presentations at conferences like the International Neuropsychological Society and the American Psychological Association showcase her active involvement in advancing neuropsychological research.

Key themes in her publications include neuroimaging biomarkers, blood-brain barrier integrity, and the protective effects of dietary components against cognitive decline. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges clinical psychology, neuroscience, and nutritional science to address aging-related cognitive challenges.
