As you may have guessed, my name is Vivian Lee. I'm currently a sophomore at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studying Economics and Management Science, although my other passions lie in foreign languages and the performing arts. This is a greatly simplified version of my site as I work to contruct the full version. Enjoy!
