Upon graduating from Williams in 2005, I received a Hubbard Hutchinson Memorial Fellowship in Dance. As a Chinese major and member of Dance Company, I used the fellowship to return to China where I studied traditional Chinese dance at the Shanghai Theatre Academy’s Dance and Opera College, managed an art gallery, worked as a freelance travel writer, and danced with the Zuheniao Dance Collective. After returning to America in late 2006, I became the program manager for the Harvard School of Public Health China Initiative.
I am now about to start Tufts University’s Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program. I plan to incorporate traditional Chinese medicine into my Western medical studies, hopefully by doing additional training in China. Over the past three years since I graduated, I have been amazed at the ease with which my Chinese language skills that were so vigorously developed at Williams have allowed me to explore so many areas of interest, from art to health.
