My name is Qianzi Cong (丛芊子). I am currently pursuing my doctoral degree in Comparative and International Education Development at the University of Minnesota. I am interested in epistemic justice for international students in the internationalization of higher education. 

As for myself, I was born and raised in Beijing, China. I went to Penn State for Education and Public Policy as an undergraduate and Education, Culture and Society at Penn for my Master's degree. 

I LOVE ROCK CLIMBING and outdoor adventures. I am a super curious person who's always looking for learning opportunities. I'm also a life coach, devoted to using my own skills to help international students. 

One of my favorite quotes is: "Life isn't about being perfect, it is about being ridiculously passionate that people think you're a bit crazy."
