Hi! I’m Yu-Jie (Grace) Liao, and I majored in mechanical engineering and global studies. I went to the Temple Rome campus summer 2019. I was born and raised in Taiwan, and I started a new chapter of my life in Philly when I came to college. Outside of my school work, I was a Conversation Partner in the Writing Center and a member of the Diamond Marching Band. Things I enjoy include walks in center city on sunny days, the sound of rain drops, and little things that surprise me every day. I can’t wait to be fascinated by all the food, architecture, and culture in Rome!

"I don’t speak any Italian and I’ve never been to Europe, so everything is going to be new and exciting, and that’s all I want from Rome this summer!"
