Born and raised in Beijing, China, Yinuo (Jenny) Zhang began her international journey at the age 15 as an exchange student in Fort Worth, Texas. She then lived in Cincinnati, Ohio before finding her home at Georgetown University, where she studied Science, Technology, and International Affairs (STIA) as an undergrad. She brings her passion for sustainable development to Master of Science in Foreign Service (MSFS), where she hopes to gain the necessary knowledge and quantitative skills to leverage business, finance, and emerging technologies for a sustainable future. Prior to MSFS, Jenny interned with the Digital Agriculture team at the World Bank, served as a research assistant at Georgetown University, and worked on a digital financial inclusion consulting project in Australia. She is particularly interested in the food industry, renewable energy, and emerging technologies. She hopes to pursue a career that directly contributes to the SDGs in the private sector or international organizations. She speaks English and Mandarin Chinese.

"I chose MSFS for its world-class faculty and strong alumni network."
