Hello! I'm Hanjun (Evelyn) Tan, a high school student, writer, and educator passionate about language, storytelling, and cultural connection.

As an immigrant student who has navigated both Chinese and American educational environments, I have become deeply interested in how language shapes identity and belonging. My work includes an ISBN-published essay collection, Echoes, a Scholastic Gold Key–winning memoir, and essays exploring education, culture, and social issues.

Beyond writing, I enjoy helping others find their voices. Over the past several years, I have worked with ESL learners, supported students transitioning into international and American schools, and mentored peers in writing and humanities-related competitions. Through teaching, writing, and community projects, I hope to create opportunities for learning, dialogue, and understanding across different backgrounds.

Thank you for visiting my page. I hope you find something here that inspires reflection, curiosity, or conversation.
