Born in Beijing in 2008 and later finding a second home in Toronto, Jennie grew up navigating and celebrating the space between two cultures. Her curiosity draws her toward technology and ethics: fields she sees as different lenses for understanding how people and societies interact. She discovered journalism after her English teacher slipped her a stack of recommended books, and since then she has treated storytelling and social advocacy as more than interests.

Beyond academics, Jennie finds joy in golf, photography, and travel, where she can slow down and observe the world with intention. She plays violin in her spare moments and loves following major sporting events, whether for the thrill or the strategy. She is fluent in English, Mandarin, and French, and continues to build a life shaped by a blend of cultures, disciplines, and passions.
