About Me
I grew up in different parts of the world, including Beijing, Connecticut, Upstate New York, and New York City. Now, I’ve finally settled in Philly after completing my graduate degree at Drexel’s neighboring institution in 2024. When I’m not working, you’ll find me playing with my dog, exploring new restaurants, hiking through various parks, and capturing moments with my camera. The college admissions process can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a rewarding journey. Our team is here to support you—don’t hesitate to reach out!
What Advice Would you Give to a High School Student Applying to College?
If possible, I highly recommend visiting college campuses in person and asking plenty of questions. While the internet is a great starting point, there’s something special about experiencing a campus firsthand. Being there physically gives you a better sense of the environment and culture, which is hard to capture online.
Favorites
Place on Campus:
Lancaster Walk—especially when the weather is nice, and the flowers are in bloom! It’s a refreshing escape from the urban landscape, offering a peaceful green space to recharge.
Restaurant/Food Truck:
Sky Café in South Philly is a must-try, especially if you’re a fan of spicy food. Their beef ribs are absolutely delicious!
Philadelphia Landmark/Location:
The John Heinz Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum is one of my go-to spots. It’s a haven for wildlife, and I’ve seen everything from birds and turtles to a fox! It never disappoints.
