Fun Fact: I was a singer for various world recording artists and celebrities as a child.

How did you get involved with Children’s Scholarship Fund and the Young Leaders Board?
I got involved with CSF because I was a recipient of a CSF scholarship. After learning I was given the opportunity to attend a school that took my education serious, I knew I wanted to give back. I then started to give a recurring donation which included being apart of the Young Leaders Board.

Why is education important to you?
Education is important to me because I was given a second change at life. As an adoptee from China, I knew my life could have had a different outcome. I was marginalized due to my learning curve in English and I wanted to prove that nothing will stop me from getting a degree. Anything is possible!
