Hello, my name is Xin or Cindy, whichever is easier for you to pronounce!

I am a geological science and studio art student at University of California, Santa Barbara. I was born in Malaysia, grew up in the United States, and studied abroad in Japan and Singapore. I enjoy learning about new cultures, visiting new places, and meeting new people!
