ERIC YU
Deputy Liason
Hi! I'm Eric, and I'm a current senior at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South in West Windsor, New Jersey. I'm serving as the Deputy Liaison for ADI. In college, I plan on studying business/economics as well as maybe psychology and/or French. I joined ADI because I wanted to help raise awareness of, and tackle, issues specific to the Asian American community (like the Bamboo Ceiling). Outside of school and ADI, I like cooking new recipes (huge foodie!) and dabbling in videography/graphic design.
