Jemma X.

Student Traveler
Arts + Sciences Seoul, South Korea School: Brown University Hometown: Shanghai

A current junior at Brown University majoring in Education and East Asian Studies. 

Highly passionate about building strong relationships and bringing small positive changes within communities. As a person who is very interested in engaging with new ideas, cultures, people, and values, my goal is to encourage people to go out to explore and embrace diversity while promoting my own culture and perspectives.

Believe in fully present and commitment when it comes to studying, working, relationships, and even small talks, anything. People find me a responsible, diligent, cooperative working partner, or a caring, reliable, genuine friend.
