Early career
In 1990, she received a bachelor's degree with honors in English and American Literature from Harvard University and in 1992 a master's degree in East Asian Studies from Stanford University. From 1994 to 1996, Ulrich worked as a fund manager for Greater China at Emerging Markets Management in Washington, D.C. and before that as an equity analyst at Bankers Finance Investment.
In his 1990 autobiography, To Life: The Story of a Chicago Lawyer, the respected jurist, Elmer Gertz, a protégé of Clarence Darrow and defender of human rights, devoted several pages to Ulrich, whom he had met when she was still a teenager. Her drive and talent, even at that age, prompted him to predict she would one day become a leader of China.
