Jennifer 8. Lee
Author and Reporter, New York Times
Jennifer 8. Lee is a New York Times reporter for the Metro section. Lee's parents, who are from Taiwan, added the number eight (the Chinese character ?) to Lee's name while she was a teenager (presumably with her consent). For many Chinese, the number eight symbolizes prosperity and good luck.
Lee graduated from Harvard University and Hunter College High School. She interned at The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Newsday and The New York Times while working on her applied mathematics and economics degree. She joined the Times in 2001, one and a half years after graduating from Harvard.
