I am currently pursuing a government major, with a concentration in international politics, with the hope to one day pursue a career in public service. I strongly believe that a major in sociology well complements my government major, as I am keenly interested in the intersections between society and communities with their government. Learn more about Wesleyan's Government and Sociology majors.

This year, on the WSA, I've accomplished:
- Finding a replacement for WSA Tools & Apps
- Making it easier to request a listserv/blog/email for groups
- Help plan The Amazing Race, Student Leader Summit, Social Justice Leadership Conference, amongst other events
- Worked on CID's MEI Recommendations
- Moved the Student Group Handbook online for easier access

Next year, I plan to:
- Implement the new system replacing Tools & Apps
- Strengthening ties between student groups and COCo
- Deepening connections between COCo and relevant administrators
- Ensuring the continued attention to issues of diversity and inclusion, to make sure Wesleyan continues its path towards being a more equal and fair community
- Focus on ways to improve the community holistically, and to deeply look at the problems of fragmentation on campus
- Increase networking opportunities between student groups
- Bring together student groups to collaborate on projects and events - Ensure that a diverse range of opinions are heard from the student body
- Constantly reach out to others in search for new perspectives, preferably those that oppose my own
- Improve access to online and community resources for students and student group leaders

I've served on these committees:
- Community Outreach Committee
- Committee for Inclusion and Diversity
- Spirit and Events Committee
- Information Technology Committee
- Public Safety Advisory Committee

I am fluent in Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. My passions include technology, graphic design/advertising, web design, and social media.
