More About Me
🎾 I started playing tennis in 2019 and have been really loving it!
👩🍳 I enjoy being adventurous in the kitchen, regularly experimenting with new recipes from diverse cuisines and adding my own twists in hopes of achieving a Pareto frontier of effort and taste. Check out my recipes.
😸 I have an adorable, fluffy Ragdoll cat named Rocky. Rocky is chilled, affectionate, and has been a constant source of joy @rocky.themittedragdoll.
🌸 I was born and raised in Macheng (麻城), a small city in northeastern Hubei province. I attended Wuhan No. 2 High School for three years before pursuing my undergraduate studies.
👣 My Chinese given name, 翰生, means 'a student of the Hanlin Academy,' symbolizing my family’s hope for me to pursue higher education, something they did not have themselves. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the chance to fulfill this aspiration, and this journey has deepened my belief in the power of education.
