Anna Lin
Founder and President
Anna Lin is a freshman at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Growing up in a multicultural family and diverse community, her lifelong passions have always been learning about the world and meeting new people. Anna had the inspiration to start a program that taught English to students in Thailand after her first visit to the country in 5th grade. There, she was offered an English and Math teaching position at an elementary school. It was her 6th graders who helped her realize the power of connection and global solidarity of students, which later became the foundation for Language Virtual.
