I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University with a B.A. in East Asian Studies, focusing on Chinese Language and Culture. I am currently working toward my M.A. in Chinese Linguistics. I speak Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and Italian. I've worked for summer language immersion programs in Spanish and Chinese and I believe the best way to learn is by trying and making mistakes. Language-learning is a lifelong process and I hope to inspire others to pursue that passion.

In my free time, I enjoy dancing, swimming, and reading!
