Yixin Zhang
Hi! I'm Yixin, a senior majoring in International Studies with a minor in Environmental Science.
Having lived in five countries—China, Spain, Korea, Sri Lanka, and the U.S.—I've seen firsthand the powerful change that comes from transnational experiences. I was so impressed by how RFI provides hands-on opportunities to understand sustainability from a local perspective, like in Ecuador.
I'm truly looking forward to serving as a Campus Representative and helping connect more passionate students to these amazing opportunities. Let's achieve our goals together!
