Bio: As a third culture kid, Duanduan was raised in both the US and Taiwan. After graduating from high school in Taipei, he was looking to spend his college years away from a major metropolitan city. The search for more natural landscapes brought him to Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. Throughout his college years, he worked as an admission ambassador, studied abroad in Italy, completed an internship in Belgium and led the Asian American Pacific Islander affinity group. As an Art and Art History major, he also maintained a studio art practice in photography and painting. After receiving his degree in 2019, Duanduan decided to pursue a career in his passion for higher education, specifically for college admission. He moved across the country to Los Angeles and worked at Pitzer College before joining the Oxy team in 2022. On the weekends, Duanduan can be found at the bouldering gym or exploring new restaurants with his friends.
