Yilan initially joined Dao Insights as an Insights and Social Media Intern and is now a regular contributor to the platform, keeping our readers up to speed on the latest culture and social media trends in and from China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She recently graduated from the University of California, Irvine with B.A.s in Film & Media Studies and Psychological Science. Soon, she’ll be pursuing her master’s degree in Applied Psychology at the University of Southern California. Yes, she loves California!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born and raised in Shenzhen, one of the southernmost cities in China, Yilan enjoys sunny days. In her own time, she likes to curl up with a good book, a warm cup of tea, and her cat. Before joining Dao, she worked as a content writer for a literary magazine and an event planner for a mental health initiative. Moving forward, she’s excited to keep exploring marketing campaigns and using psychology to address business challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
