Bio:
I love learning. I like to think that I have a fair amount of energy and an optimistic attitude. I'm very open to trying new things and absolutely love traveling. I also enjoy meeting new people and believe that I can learn something valuable from anyone. I'm interested in modern art, especially photography. I live by the motto "no challenge, no fun."

Why did you choose to be a part of the Orr Fellowship?
All the recent Wabash grads who are in the Fellowship seem to be very happy with their choice. This fact was very important in my decision to join the fellowship. I also believe that the rotational nature of our jobs provide an unparalleled learning experience. Having company's top officers as one's mentors also was very appealing (especially in a Fortune 500 company like Brighpoint.) Last but not least, the Fellowship is an excellent networking opportunity.

Just the facts:
I love China and Mandarin Chinese. I jog everyday and also try to swim/lift weight whenever I can. I always try to change something for the better in my life. I did four internships throughout my Wabash education. I find cold weather very difficult to stand and definitelty need lots of sunshine in my life. I can hurdly survive a day without at least two espressos and a cup of green/jasmine tea. I did the world's highest bungy jump (764 feet) from the Macau Tower:-)
