I was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, moved to the US in 3rd grade, graduated with a BA in Criminology & Criminal Justice and a minor in Chinese Language from the University of Maryland - College Park, and graduated with a JD with a certificate in International Law from Florida State University College of Law. I have over 7 years of experience as an administrative grants assistant. My work consisted of drafting documents according to templates; proofreading, editing, and synthesizing comments and edits; and creating Excel spreadsheets. I also interned in a public interest law office working with low-income people filing for Social Security benefits and immigration papers.
