Tommy Yu

Tommy grew up in Shanghai, and studied international business & finance at the University of Hong Kong. During college, he co-led a team of volunteers on a trip to Ghana for voluntary teaching and latrine construction, which turned out to be one of his most memorable journeys. After working at Teneo for about a year in Hong Kong, Tommy went on to pursue his passion for the social good, and obtained his MS degree in data science and public policy from the University of Chicago in 2018. He feels truly honored to join the QuestBridge team that has changed the lives of numerous low-income youth. In his spare time, Tommy plays tennis and idolizes Roger Federer. He also loves Broadway musicals, wildlife, dogs, and traveling.
