Shanghai, Fall 2009

Amanda Ong, a Junior at Trinity University in San Antonio, is ecstatic about studying abroad with the IES Shanghai program. She is a Business/Accounting major with a minor in Drama. Although she is a Chinese American, she has never really identified with her culture until now. She hopes to improve on her Mandarin Chinese, to connect with her ethnic roots, and to gain an international business perspective while abroad. Along with photography, Amanda's passions include theatre, volleyball, salsa dancing, and shopping. Shanghai, make room for this Texas gal!
