Yanqing Lei is originally from China but was raised in Los Angeles. A 2023 graduate of Wellesley College, she majored in both political science and women’s and gender studies and is currently working as a healthcare analytics associate at Berkeley Research Group. She says that growing up as a first generation, low-income immigrant, she saw first hand the inequities faced by new immigrants, especially women of color, and that has made her passionate about supporting and protecting marginalized people. As a Negotiation Works volunteer data analyst, Yanqing hopes to combine data and storytelling to assist our class participants with learning new negotiation and self-advocacy skills.
