Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hello! I'm a Yale senior majoring in Humanities and Philosophy from Tulsa, Oklahoma (the state shaped like a frying-pan above Texas). I've folded origami since I was five and have studied Chinese in Beijing and Taiwan -- I'm thrilled to bring the two interests together at Splash! Outside of class, I write columns for the Yale Daily News, host a radio show, and love chatting over tea.
