The Unseen Impact a College Counselor Has | Gillian Lian | TEDxSMICSchool

Gillian, a college counselor of 10 years, noticed that college counseling is a process that not only helped her students discover themselves, but also helped her discover her identity and significant role as a mentor and friend towards the youth of our society. Gillina Lian has been working as a college counselor for over 10 years both in the U.S. and China. Most of the students she worked with were from G10 to G12 and either from China or grew up in China. Universities that her students got accepted to include but not limited to USC, NYU, Vanderbilt, William & Mary College, University of Rochester, Boston University, Cambridge, etc.
With bachelor's degrees in electrical engineering & public relations, Gillian was a crisis PR intern serving for brands like China Mobile and Huawei. She became a college counselor in 2012 and realized this could be her life career. At her 30th, she went back to the U.S. for her master's degree in school counseling & mental health counseling at Johns Hopkins University. This 15 months in JHU helped her incorporate her wealthy workforce experiences and cross-disciplicary knowledge and skills into her daily work with students.
