Bon Voyage Whitney

How time flies! It seemed that Whitney just came to the Bay Area and now she's graduated from Stanford. In four years, she did not just get her Bachelor degree but also a Master one!

Whitney has been booked by a major international business consulting firm Bain & Company. Before she starts to work for them next January in Los Angeles, she will work for a non-profit organization in Beijing for three months.
