Coco Jia

Coco Jia is a rising sophomore at Brandeis University, where she plans to study Economics and Art History. Coco co-founded her non-profit conducting reproductive education in Zimbabwe. She is also an avid museum lover and enjoys finding unexpected connections between art history and economics. She recently read a paper on the connection between the Arnolfini Portrait by Jan Van Eyck and the ethics of late medieval merchant capitalism. She chose this field of study because her experience founding her non-profit made her realize the significant influence of economics policy on all fields. She is looking forward to meeting like-minded peers who want to use economics for good and learning about international economic policies that affects transnational non-profit and museum work.
