Best IU experience so far: Surviving I-Core and making lasting friendships with my teammates on Blue Team 6.
One thing I want to do before I leave Bloomington/campus: Go apple picking at Musgrave Orchards.
Greatest life lesson: Life is too short to take anything for granted. Appreciate everything as it comes and smile as much as possible!
My greatest role model and why: My older sister, Jennifer, because of her dedication to helping other people and her work ethic.
Favorite movie and why: Good Will Hunting. It’s a great story about an underdog who defeats the odds and breaks free of the constraints of his environment (all Disney/Pixar movies are a close second place).
Favorite class at IU and why: L-293 with Professor McCrory because he managed to make learning legal jargon and cases enjoyable and memorable.
Something I’m really passionate about: Getting to meet new people and helping them achieve their goals.
Something that would surprise people about me: I am a dual citizen – United States and Taiwan (Republic of China).
