Originally from China, I embarked on my journey to the U.S. at the age of 15 to pursue my studies abroad. Before arriving at Harvard, I spent my high school and college years in New York. Currently, I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Global Health and Populations, which is a STEM degree, allowing me to delve into diverse research fields such as epidemiology, social behavioral science, health economics, etc. Beyond my academic and entrepreneurial pursuits, I have a passion for extracurricular activities. I enjoy playing badminton and musical instruments, including the Chinese zither and Peking opera. Before joining Dudley at Harvard, I served as a Residential Advisor at three different dorms during my college years, where I managed student activities, resolved conflicts, and helped students fully engage in college life. I look forward to meeting everyone in the Dudley Community this year! - ## People Roles [Dudley Tutors](/people-roles/dudley-tutors) [VUS Tutors](/people-roles/vus-tutors)
