Jon Lee

College/Young Professional Counselor

Bio: Growing up in proximity to NYC, I, like most people, thought finance was the route to wealth and happiness. But, after working for several years, I realized my personality and interests weren’t a good fit for Wall Street. Like so many things in my life, I needed a reason to believe in my work. So ironically, I’m back in business school at the University of Chicago. In college, I was active in the Asian American community, especially the Taiwanese American community. I was President of the Rutgers Taiwanese American Student Association for two years, hosted the first Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Students Association (ITASA) Conference at Rutgers in 2005, volunteered as a counselor at the Taiwanese American Foundation (TAF) summer conference for two summers, and served Taiwanese American Next Generation (TANG) summer camp in a number of capacities as my longest commitment.
