Fiona Fan (范静雯) is a Chinese expat in the United States who was laid off during the pandemic, but bounced back to find a job at one of the world's most sought after companies - currently working as a Data Scientist at Amazon.
In the previous months, we viewed resilience from the local perspective. Often, this means being able to fall back on support structures and our network, when we encounter adversity. This changes when we move abroad, far away from our comfort zone. We are glad to have Fiona with us today to share her journey through the adversities she faced as an expat and emerging stronger from it. Fiona previously studied neuroscience and economics at Wellesley College, and computational social science at University of Chicago. In her free time, she enjoys watching animation, reading non-fiction, and not exercising.
