About Me

My name is 张芷苒, which translates to English using Chinese "pinyin" as "Zhiran Zhang". I prefer to go by the name "Minerva".
I was born in Xiangtan, Hunan, but I grew up in Shenzhen, Guangdong, a beautiful city by the sea in southern China that is close to Hong Kong.
I am currently a Junior student at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), majoring in Computer Science and Technology. Prior to that, I attended high school at Shenzhen Middle School and middle school at Shenzhen Foreign Languages School (SFLS), which I am still very in love with and grateful to until this very day.

Currently I am concentrated in my university studies, and I am looking forward to pursueing a graduate degree in the United States.
