About Me: Hello! My name is Ting. A fun fact about me is that even though I am not from Madison, I moved here in my freshman year of high school. (7 years now!) So, I am pretty familiar with the city. Outside of class, you could probably see me playing badminton at the Nic, or just studying in the Ehall lounge. During my free time, I really enjoy cooking and meal prepping.

Chen Shien Chia, Junior
chia5@wisc.edu
About Me: Apa khabar? My name is Chia and I speak Malay, Chinese, English, Teochew, and Hokkien. I came from a beautiful, diverse, and multicultural country called Malaysia. I love sharing Malaysian food with my friends and sometimes invite them over to make traditional desserts together. We made ‘ondeh-ondeh’ which is a dessert made with pandan (screwpine leaf) infused dough and filled with Gula Melaka (palm sugar). I chose Chemical Engineering as my major because I am amazed by the broad spectrum of industries it spans as well as its ability to create new substances that can change people’s lives.
