Hi! I'm Amy, and I'm happy to be your IREP this orientation! I was born and raised in Ciudad de Panamá, Panamá. However, both my parents are Chinese, and therefore I'm trying to learn Mandarin during my time at Brandeis. I'll be in my fourth semester this upcoming Fall, and I like to draw, and crochet.

Hey everyone! My name is Lin Han and I’m a rising junior majoring in computer science and biology with a minor in east asian studies. Though technically a domestic student, I was born and raised in Singapore until I was 8, then moved to Shanghai, China before coming here. Coming to Brandeis is the first time I’ve ever lived far from home, and it’s definitely a rewarding and fun experience. In my free time, I love doing photography, playing games, listening to jpop, and going to the nearby arcade! I’m super excited to meet you guys, and feel free to reach out about anything :).

Nice to meet you! My name is Lumi, and I grew up in the very small town of Nurlat located in the south of the Republic of Tatarstan (625 miles from Moscow). My life drastically changed at the age of 14 when I got a full-time job as a media producer at one of the largest Russian YouTube entertainment channels MrLololoshka. That surprisingly coincided with the admission to the World’s #1 IB School — Letovo Boarding School in Moscow — where I spent the next 4 years of my life working on various community projects and figuring out who I am and who I want to become.
Volunteering at school events and shooting photos for my beloved friends I met there, I first discovered my passion for professional photography and videography. This, I believe, shaped me as a media/tech kind of person I am right now :)

Hi Class of 2030! I'm Sarah, a rising sophomore born in LA and raised in Tokyo. I am double majoring in HSSP and Music, so if you have any classes in Slosberg or G-zang you'll most likely find me there during the school year!
