Echo is just graduated with a major in anthropology. In the past, she has been into the intersection of political economy and ethnographic methods, and was fairly theory-oriented. At the end of college approached, she was wavering between transitioning to the job market or continuing in academia. She learned a bit about UX methods and career futures herself, and was very lucky to find the mentorship program just in time. She was mentored by Evon Tay.
