Duke TAASCON 2014 : SELF

Introducing, our second keynote speaker: ARDEN CHO!

You might have seen Arden on Teen Wolf, CSI:NY, Rizzoli and Isles, or Pretty Little liars. You could have seen her in international commercials for Clinique, Apple or McDonalds. You may have even heard her voice as Samantha & the Sun Queen in the recently released Tomb Raider video game. If not, it's okay! You can watch her music videos on YouTube and check out her EP "My True Happy" available on iTunes. Currently, Arden is filming season 4 of MTV's hit show, Teen Wolf. You can watch Arden as the Kitsune "Kira" every Monday night on MTV.

When she's not busy filming Teen Wolf or recording music, Arden spends her weekends speaking at Universities and connecting with the youth. Her journey into entertainment began because she grew up feeling alienated as an Asian-American in Middle America. For most of her life, she felt being different was a handicap but now she's come to fully embrace who she is and loves the fact that she's Asian-American. She's had a passion to be a part of the movement in showcasing more minorities in mainstream media and hopes to encourage others not to be afraid to pursue their talents and dreams in the arts.​
