Lian'er’s high school journey reflects a courage to pivot. Initially taking a standard finance route, she followed her genuine passion for human behavior, shifting her academic focus to psychology. This pivot spurred her IPQ research on youth behavior, where she self-taught R language and navigated 30 draft revisions to rebuild her analytical mindset. A signature voice on campus, she hosted nearly every major school event, drawing strength from unconditional mentorship to overcome self-doubt.
