Spoiler alert: she kept that promise, and then some. Inspired by the TV show Gilmore Girls, she went to Yale (on a full scholarship, by the way) and then was the youngest graduate student at Harvard after seeing “Legally Blonde.” If that’s not enough, she had three side jobs leading her to bridge gaps between China and the US, and work with Hollywood stars.
