I'm Zili Zhong. I am a first-year graduate student in the Psychological Science program. I did my undergraduate at the University of California at Irvine and one graduate program in Applied Behavior Analysis at ASU.

I hope to get into a PhD program after my program. I am an international student from China. I love mystery & crime fiction. I also play board games and video games in my free time.
