Brief Biographical Sketch:

Vivien Tsao is an intended bioengineering major at University of California, Berkeley. However, she makes her life difficult by adoring all things in the field of humanities. Perhaps a double major or minor in English lies in her future.

Outside of her academic pursuits, she loves volunteering, philosophizing, reading, singing in the shower (Her floormates have become inured.), and reading the news online.
