Los Angeles,CA

Summary

At 15, I left Beijing with my family for Los Angeles to pursue education, embracing a multicultural identity and a natural talent for connecting with others. Thriving at collaboration with diverse individuals, I immersed myself in a foreign environment, acquiring new languages and skills. Drawing on my high school knowledge and achievements, I successfully entered the world of architecture, further developing my communication, computer, and design expertise. Through internships at renowned firms, I gained hands-on experience, networking with exceptional professionals, and expanded my understanding of corporate facilitation. Business trips alongside industry leaders provided invaluable real-life insights, shaping my future growth and skill set.
