Education and career

As a high school student, she competed three times in the International Mathematical Olympiad. She is the highest-scoring female contestant in IMO history. She has 3 Gold medals in IMO, awarded in 1989 (41/42 points), IMO 1990 (42/42) and IMO 1991 (42/42). [2] She is a member of the International Mathematical Olympiad Hall of Fame. [3]
