Meet: Leon Xu

MEA is delighted to welcome back Leon Xu, who was our intern in 2021. He will serve as our Marketing Development Coordinator for an extended period until his return to school in the fall semester. Leon’s primary responsibility is to grow stronger business relationships to increase membership, expand social media presence/SEO (search engine optimization), and create/write content.

“With a degree from NYU in Mathematics and Economics and passion for academic research, I enjoy bringing a data and research-driven approach to NYCMEA’s marketing initiatives. My goal is to help MEA better connect with our current and potential members.

Having spent the last five years living and studying in New York City, I’ve developed a deep connection to the city and its people. This connection was strengthened when I designed and led a street-level economics study funded by NYU, conducting research with hundreds of participants. Through this experience, I gained firsthand insights into how economic decisions impact New Yorkers’ daily lives. This blend of academic research and real-world engagement continues to motivate my approach in developing innovative solutions while pursuing my passion for applying research to real-world challenges.”
