GET TO KNOW Yeyang
Educational Background and Achievements
I hold a double major in Psychology and Philosophy, with a minor in Business from the University of Michigan. I was honored to receive the Phi Beta Kappa Book Prize, awarded to 10 out of 500 students in my class. My passion for research has led me to work in various labs, ranging from social psychology to cognitive neuroscience, with my posters and papers selected for conferences and publications. Additionally, I’ve been involved in non-profit organizations and startups, and interned at a consulting firm providing services to tech and entertainment companies.
Passion for Education and Mentorship
Deeply passionate about education, I had the opportunity to present at a conference in Luxembourg, where I shared my actionable plan for facilitating education for students with special needs. With a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring, I served as an SAT tutor at Let’s Get Ready, a New York City nonprofit that supports students from historically underrepresented backgrounds in their college application process. I also worked as a Teaching Assistant for an Introductory Psychology class.
Consulting style
In my consulting approach, I integrate coaching, focusing on long-term planning to help students unlock their full potential. As a first-generation college student, I believe that with the right guidance, anyone can thrive in the American college environment, regardless of their background.
