Henry

Hey everyone! I’m Henry, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences studying Economics. I’m originally from Hangzhou, China, grew up in Cary, North Carolina, and now call New York City home. On campus, I’m a Presidential Honors Scholar, an NYU Athletics Operations Assistant, and, of course, an Admissions Ambassador. Outside of class, I love traveling and exploring new cultures, recently in places like Switzerland and Japan. I also have a strange obsession with booking flights, checking ticket prices every day to plan my next break adventure. When I’m in the city, you’ll usually find me running along the Chelsea Piers or uncovering hidden pop-ups and local markets that make every day in NYC feel like an adventure. I love sharing these discoveries so everyone can make the city, and the world, their playground.
