About me

STUDYING PEOPLE, SYSTEMS, AND EVERYDAY LIFE.

I am a senior at Skidmore College majoring in Education Studies and Sociology. Growing up in Shanghai and now studying in Saratoga Springs has shaped how I see people, communication, and the way different environments influence how individuals and teams function.

Through coursework, internships, and student involvement, I have gained experience in team coordination, organizational support, communication, and working across different roles and responsibilities, especially in education-related settings. I am particularly interested in how learning environments, workplace culture, and social structures shape collaboration, growth, and the way organizations function on a day-to-day level.
