ⓘ About Jean Kwok

When she was five years old, her family moved to New York City, which was a horrifying experience as she did not speak English. By this time, Jean Kwok’s family had moved to Brooklyn Heights and stopped working at the sweatshop. It was a massive improvement, even if they still did not have much money to spare. As such, the scholarship was a huge blessing since without the full financial aid package to attend a top school, college would have remained a mirage. At school, she decided to devote herself to science, even though she loved English as she did not think it was a practical choice. After graduating from college, she was looking for a day job when she saw an ad that called for professional ballroom dancers and also offered training.
