What brings Qien to the field?: Many people grow up witnessing or experiencing violence, whether inside or outside their homes. Although such behavior is normalized in everyday life open discussions about it remain controversial and taboo for many. Qien's generation is ready for a change, and to her, being involved in violence prevention education is a way to contribute to the greater effort of transforming the public's perspectives on healthy relationships, understanding consent, and recognizing its nuances. It takes communities to promote a safe and inclusive world, and she is excited to use her role to educate her peers and the campus.
What does Qien do for self-care?: Qien likes to hang out with friends, spend time chatting with family, doodle on a piece of paper, listen to music of various kinds, and watch good shows on the TV.
Qien's favorite dish in IV: Tropical guava smoothie from Blenders
