I am a student from Columbia University, pursuing Double Degree of Columbia and Sciences Po Paris, which is also called Paris Institute of Political Studies (IEP). Majoring in economics-political science, I’m particularly interested in international relations, comparative politics, as well as political economy.Having studied French for almost ten years, before I came to NY I spent most of my life in Shanghai, China and three years in France: one-year-exchange in a local high school in Lyon and two years in the university after I was enrolled in the Double Degree program. I’ve been studying in Columbia since fall 2015.I am aware of both the communicability of individual experience and the difference in their contexts. It is therefore interesting for me to reach out to women from various background, in order to share their initiatives and to find out how can their stories inspire female leadership in other communities, and how can women neutralize or even overcome social difference to raise their voices in professional fields.
