After Penn, she received a fellowship to pursue graduate studies in Beijing, China at Peking University through the Yenching Academy Program. Kristen received her M.A. in China Studies with a concentration in History & Archeology in 2018, and entered her career as a high school teacher. Kristen taught English Literature in an international high school from 2018-2020, and joined the Upper School English Department at the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia in 2020. She's glad to be back in the Philly area & happy to be involved with Quaker education.
This Spring 2022 semester commemorates 25 years of Asian American Studies at Penn. Join us every Wednesday evening to learn about our history through the personal experiences of our ASAM alums in our new speaker series, Wednesday Nights with ASAM Alumni. Covering a different period each week, we will kick off the chronological series in January 2022 with a close-up look back at Penn and Asian American life in 1996. The series will culminate in May 2022 with a look ahead at 2023. These informal conversations among ASAM friends will be led by the ASAM UAB and will not only be informative but will offer lively memories and shared experiences of undergraduate and graduate life firsthand. A new part of history and new alums each week!
Wednesdays at 7:00 pm EST
