YOUR PATH TO EUROPE, MY PATH TO PURPOSE.

My journey began at Kents Hill School, a boarding school in Maine, where I first experienced life abroad…

…Growing up in China, the idea of studying abroad for a college degree was always a familiar path for me, even though it might seem unconventional to many families in the US or Europe. 

After high school, I continued my education at Franklin and Marshall College in Pennsylvania, with a unique twist—I spent three semesters studying in Cologne and Heidelberg, Germany.

This unconventional approach to my education broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of the global opportunities available to students.

After completing my undergraduate degree, I pursued a master’s degree at the University of Bonn in Germany.

It was during this time that I truly recognized the immense potential for families considering college degrees in Europe.

Now, as a data scientist at the German Statistical Office, I’m eager to share my personal and professional experiences to guide and inspire students and families worldwide in exploring educational opportunities across Europe.
