About Me

Hi, my name is Katherine Gao. I'm from Shenzhen, China and currently studying in Watkinson School as a Global Studies student. I love spending my free time traveling and exploring my surroundings because they help me connect to the world around me better. I am always willing to gain new knowledge through learning different subjects. Therefore, through Global Studies, I wish to broaden my perspectives and become an excellent learner. I want to study about the topics that I previously have no experience of; I would like to be a productive global citizen after attending the Global Studies Program.
