About Siyi

Hi, thank you for visiting my portfolio!

 

My name is Siyi Zhang. I am currently a graduate student in the M.A. TESOL program at Teachers College, Columbia University.

Prior to my study at Teachers College, I achieved a bachelor's degree in Finance at The Pennsylvania State University. I never thought to become a teacher and devote myself to the educational field until I did some internships during my undergraduate years. Now, I wish to apply the learned knowledge and international perspective to my future career and contribute to the Chinese education system.

 

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, playing 'Guzheng', and doing sports. I also have two adorable pets to play with. A Shiba-Inu dog named 'Dice' and a British Shorthair cat named 'Mocha'!
