Born in Shanghai and raised in Beijing, I am a recent graduate of Duke University’s Trinity College of Arts and Sciences (B.A. 2023) and Duke University School of Law (J.D. 2026) with academic training in political science, economics, cultural anthropology, and law. My professional and academic experiences have focused on international affairs, multidisciplinary research, and service-oriented leadership. During my undergraduate studies at Duke, I held multiple leadership roles in the Duke-UNC China Leadership Summit, a student-run conference series on U.S.-China relations and China policy, and contributed to research initiatives involving global health policy and crosslinguistic studies. At Duke Law, I served as Co-President of the Asian Pacific American Law Students Association (APALSA) and participated in immigration and human rights pro bono projects. I also interned for Judge Richard M. Berman of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and worked as a summer associate at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, where I will join as an associate in the General Practice department in 2026.
Outside of my professional work, I have remained actively involved in theater, performing in both English- and Mandarin-language productions, including musical theater and stage plays. In my personal time, I enjoy cooking, music, and outdoor activities, particularly singing, playing piano and ukulele, and spending time in nature.
