Author Bio

Alex Yang

Alex is a senior at NYU Stern studying business. He's passionate about exploring the intersection of education and technology, which lead him to start writing blog posts in his spare time during college. You can find his blog here.

He is very excited about the idea of mentorship starting in high school because that was something he missed out on in his own high school experience. Alex loves being a mentor to his teammates on the NYU Tennis Team, as he's learnt a lot about relationship building and how to be a kinder person.
