I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, and attended New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, majoring in literature. During college, I read a translation of Cao Xueqin’s Dream of the Red Chamber, which began my interest in Chinese culture and language. This led me to study abroad at NYU Shanghai, where I stayed over a year. After graduation, I was inspired to become a U.S.-China Friendship Volunteer due to my interests in volunteer work, China, and education. In addition to my academic interests, I enjoy playing the bagpipes and classical piano, taking film photographs, reading novels, and spending time with my family.

我在马里兰州的巴尔的摩出生并长大，毕业于纽约大学加勒廷特立学院，主修文学。在大学期间，我读过英文版的《红楼梦》，因此我开始对中国文化和语言感兴趣。这让我决定去上海纽约大学留学，在那里待了一年多。学成毕业后，因为对中国和中国的义务教育感兴趣，我受到启发成为了一个美中友好志愿者。除了我的学术兴趣以外，我喜欢演奏风笛并弹钢琴、拍交卷照片、看小说及享受和家人在一起的时光。
