Kit Marie chats to Hermione Miao indulging various herbal brews, chatting about Chinese names, herbal medicines and teas, geocapabilities, the opportunity to study abroad, human agency, amongst other things!

Hermione Miao chose her name as Hermione Granger means so much to them. They like her courage to stepping into a new world that her parents have never been. Hermione knew this character is their favourite when she advocates for house elves’ welfare while everyone else takes for granted of the house elves’ service. That’s Hermione Miao, born in rural China, a first gen college student, and doing a PhD in geography education at Scotland!
