Throughout my life, my love for travel has been at the forefront. Whether it is a road trip throughout the US or a flight to Beijing, I love to learn all about the places I visit. I have visited 16 countries so far and can’t wait to add to my list! During my time in Beijing, I was an international student for a semester and once I graduated from Elon University, I moved to Beijing, China. There I worked as a teacher for Beijing public schools and learned a lot about what it takes to work in a foreign country (A LOT OF PAPERWORK)! As the newest International Student Advisor, I am excited to work with this amazing team to create an environment where International Students feel seen and heard. I cannot wait to be an asset for our students here at UB!
Like the students I serve, I came to the United States to study as an international student. A number of years have passed, but I felt like it was yesterday when I flew in with an oversize suitcase and a pair of eager eyes. The University of Bridgeport has a diverse student body and it is an exciting place to be. The entire staff and I are here to assist you in easing your transition into the University of Bridgeport community. I speak Chinese, and have traveled to Russia, France, Belgium, Austria, Canada, and Italy. I can be contacted by email at: internationaloffice@bridgeport.edu or yuminw@bridgeport.edu.
