My name is Xin (Ana) Qiu. I'm a graduate student of Games for Learning Program at NYU Steinhardt.
I was a trader — a gamer in the volatile financial markets. Now I am pivoting my career towards educational game design.
I parachuted from the “big gaming” territory into this wonderland and now I am pursuing a magical fairy of learning and game-design. In this creative garden, I am gradually breaking out of my cocoon and developing my super-learner powers. I hope I can finally emerge as a butterfly, spreading the magical power to a larger world.
