I have raised two daughters. My elder daughter graduated from a public high school in Wisconsin and received several prestigious national awards, including the U.S. Presidential Scholar. She was admitted to top universities such as Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, USC, UC Berkeley, Georgetown, NYU, UW-Madison. She ultimately chose Yale, where she is pursuing a double major in Economics and Film Directing. At Yale, she has interned at several major entertainment companies, contributing to production, marketing and script coverage. She directed the Symphony Orchestra Halloween Show, won awards for her films on identity and social justice. She is a fellow with The Gotham, Film Independent, and others. She has also produced content for nonprofits, led Yale Cinematic Productions, and interned for U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro and Governor Tony Evers, demonstrating a strong blend of creative, civic, and leadership experience.
My younger daughter graduated from Choate Rosemary Hall, a top private high school. She was accepted by several universities, including Brown, the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), Columbia, the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), and Georgetown University. She eventually chose Columbia University, where she is studying Finanical Engineering and Mathematics as major, and Sustainable Engineering, Applied Math as minors. At Columbia, she has served as a teaching assistant, supporting professors in undergraduate classrooms. As Vice President of her class, she collaborated with administrators and committees to organize community initiatives, manage finances, and enhance the student experience. In her role as Vice President of Columbia Lioness Quantitative—sponsored by Hudson River Trading, Citadel, and TraderMath—she contributed to the development of quantitative finance curricula and fostered connections with leading firms, promoting the inclusion of women in the field.
I graduated from Chongqing University with a Master’s degree in Engineering. In 2002, I received a full scholarship to pursue graduate studies in the U.S. After earning my master degree in Chemistry, I have been working in a multinational pharmaceutical company in the U.S., where I have been working in drug analysis and management. At the same time, I pursued and obtained a master degree in Business Administration.
Although I am a full-time professional, I have never missed any important moment in my daughters’ lives. I have maintained mutual trust and open communication with them. I guided them in building their own dreams and encouraged them to stay persistent in achieving their goals at each stage of growth, successfully helping them gain admission into top 10 universities in the U.S.
Having lived in the U.S. for over 20 years and with my daughters attending both public and private high schools, I have gained deep insights into both educational systems. I have also accumulated extensive experience in extracurricular planning, leadership development, and community service. I can help children choose projects based on their interests and strengths — projects they can excel in and stay committed to. I understand how to leverage existing resources and provide the most optimized, personalized strategies to help students achieve their goals.
Throughout this journey with my daughters, I have had the opportunity to build strong connections with their classmates and parents, receiving valuable advice and support. I deeply understand the common challenges teenagers face during their developmental years, as well as the confusion and anxiety many parents experience. This has enabled me to help others with both competence and empathy. I am eager to share my educational philosophies, resources, and experiences I have accumulated with more families in need. As a planning and college application consultant for middle and high school students, I strive to assist parents who lack experience or time, and support their children in finding direction and realizing their dreams.
