Biography
Born and raised in Shanghai, China, I came to the United States at the age of nineteen and attended Vanderbilt University, where I majored in Biomedical Engineering.
Fun fact about me: I joined the marching band in my college with no prior knowledge of football. It was a wild experience but a lot of fun!
