Hi there! I’m Wendy Chong, the founder and CEO of Echo HK. I’m a rising junior at UCLA from Hong Kong. During my free time, I enjoy appreciating works of literature, writing poems and hiking. I’m also enthusiastic about public speaking, community service, along with anything related to language and culture. In 2021, I founded Echo as I realized that solely relying on technology for communication during the pandemic had imperceptibly led to the loss of human touch, with little room left for deep, inspiring exchange. 
Besides, many students may not have advisers to turn to when facing important decisions in life, such as college application and job-seeking. 

Hence, we would like to spread wisdom and experience among our peers such that everyone can view the world through different perspectives. We aspire to make an impact through reviving warm, wholesome scenes on the internet through hosting meaningful Fireside Chats (interviews) with guests from various industries. We hope to hearten our fellows to carry on in times of adversities, to be undaunted in the face of hardship, and to embrace one another when faith is wavering. Together, we endeavor to build Echo as the campfire of the community - to ignite the sparkles of faith and love, to illuminate each and every soul around us, and to provide you with a friendly platform for sharing your very own and unique stories.
