Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi! My name is Janis Li and I'm from Livingston, NJ. I've been born and raised in NJ as an American Born Chinese (ABC). I am an artist, dancer and a bit of a nerd. But of course that's not all what I do. I still treasure my personal moments of TV show binging and stuffing myself with Asian cuisine. I am very big on logic and math, and believe in a direct correlation between all things, even the unknown. For example, the Butterfly Effect is an idea that satisfies. That's pretty much it! I'm a freshman pre-med at Brandeis this year, and can't wait to see what the rest of my time here will bring me!
