Amy L. Jia

Amy recently graduated from Harvard University with a major in Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology and a minor in Psychology. Originally from Plano, Texas, she attended The Hockaday School — an all-girls private school in Dallas — where she was a varsity member of the debate and rowing teams. During her time at Harvard, Amy conducted biomedical research at the nearby Brigham and Women's Hospital; tutored students in academic essay writing at the Harvard Writing Center; wrote for The Harvard Crimson, Harvard's student newspaper; and served as a teaching fellow for two undergraduate Physics courses. This summer, Amy will begin work as a Strategy Analyst for ClearView Healthcare Partners, a life sciences consulting firm based in Newton, Massachusetts. She aspires to work in a healthcare-adjacent field, where she can contribute to the latest therapeutic advancements and engage in critical conversations about healthcare reform.

 

In her spare time, Amy enjoys traveling to national parks across the United States, writing — she has written two novels so far — and photography. She is currently training for her first marathon, which she hopes to run before her next birthday!
