Cynthia is an undergraduate student from Chicago, Illinois and Beijing, China. She is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention at the Keck School of Medicine. Cynthia enjoys the diversity found within the USC community, as she gets to meet people from different backgrounds, cultures, career interests, and hobbies.

A little-known fact about Cynthia is that she trains for triathlons in her spare time. She enjoys slow pop music, and some of her favorite artists are Lewis Capaldi and Ed Sheeran. Her most memorable travel experience thus far has been touring around Japan – she visited cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, Uji, and Yokohama, and immensely enjoyed the history, culture, delicious food, and breathtaking views. If she could possess one superpower, she would like to have super-memory so she could memorize everything very quickly for her exams!

She also volunteers at local hospitals as a member of Trojan Health Volunteers, and is a member of the USC Triathlon Club. A massive foodie, Cynthia loves to explore new food places around LA in her spare time.
