Hello,

a bit about me:

A senior studying business journalism and economics at the University of Missouri, I am intrigued by the fact that money is at the center of every human endeavor and relevant to every area of journalism. Professionally, I am interested in reporting on stories that involve real people and using data to untangle complex economic ideas for non-experts.

With a background in various print and online publications, I intend to tell the most accurate, complete and engaging story in the manner that is the best fit. I'm a quick learner who has an inquisitive personality and becomes engrossed in whatever subject I'm pursuing.

When I am not out reporting, you may find me hanging out at a jam session, checking out the latest comedy show in town, planning my next road trip or binge watching tutorials on Lynda.com.

And last but not least, her name is pronounced Lee-Ying Chi-en, but she won’t be mad if you get it wrong on the first try;)
