YOUR 2022-23 PEER MENTORSHIP COORDINATORS are Daochun Li, Keith Cheng and Joanna Wang. See their bios below!
Daochun Li
Daochun Li is a second-year CPD student, concentrating in Knowledge Management and Information Management (KMIM), and in Archives and Records Management (ARM). She completed her undergraduate degree in Languages, Literature and Cultural Studies, with a minor in Film and Media Studies.
In her free time, Daochun enjoys traveling, biking, and exploring different art exhibitions. As a Peer Mentoring Coordinator, Daochun is looking forward to supporting both the mentors and the mentees in establishing their own personal development journey, and staying connected to the iSchool community.
Keith Cheng
Keith is a Masters of Information student in the User Experience Design concentration who is currently working on a master’s thesis exploring the purpose and potentialities of student activism. Beyond being a co-coordinator of the PM@i program, he is serving as the chair of the Diversity Working Group this coming year and is in charge of (and who to reach out to about) the BIPOC Peer Mentoring program.
Prior to his masters, Keith studied Art History and Sexual Diversity Studies at UofT and worked as a graphic designer & archivist. He is always happy to provide guidance to others so don’t hesitate to reach out to him if you ever have any questions (or, perhaps, if you share his enthusiasm for Frank Ocean, James Baldwin, and Wong Kar Wai).
Joanna Wang
Joanna Wang is a second-year Master of Information Candidate in the User Experience Design (UXD) concentration. She studied Professional Education and worked in the EduTech industry for three years. Her passion is to combine aesthetics with functionalities to shape the user experience.
She loves to travel and photograph. She also learned Rhythmic gymnastics for ten years. As a Peer Mentoring Coordinator, she is looking forward to helping both incoming mentees and mentors to expand their network and provide them with resources and support.
