Yichun Chen

Yichun grew up in China and moved to Oklahoma when she was in middle school. She studied History and Sociology at Northwestern University. After graduating, Yichun worked at a Chicago-based nonprofit to coordinate international exchange programs. In this role, she discovered her love for working with young people and helping them identify educational opportunities that align with their goals and interests. This passion in education and her own experience as a first-generation college student led Yichun to QuestBridge. She is excited to contribute to QuestBridge’s mission, and be a part of their wonderful team. In her spare time, Yichun enjoys learning kickboxing, trying new restaurants, and running along Lake Michigan.
