ALLEN LIN

2022

I am currently a junior attending Drexel University studying finance and business analytics. I have been in the Sun's for around 10 years and have been participating in basketball, volleyball, and lion dance activities. I also attend youth development events from time to time to give the youth some insight into my past experiences that might help them understand things a little better. After graduation, I want to take a year off instead of just jumping right into the corporate world, and instead, I want to travel to Europe or Asia to explore different cultures and architecture. What I want to do with my degree is either work in investment banking or sales and trading but my career goal is to find financial opportunities and cheap housing to help decrease the poverty level in Philadelphia.
