My Passion for Music
Music has been a big part of my life for over a decade. I started playing the piano more than ten years ago, and over time, it has become more than just an instrument—it’s a form of self-expression. From classical masterpieces to the soulful rhythms of R&B and the electrifying energy of rock & roll, I find inspiration in a wide range of genres.
Whether I’m playing Chopin’s nocturnes, exploring jazz improvisation, or simply unwinding with a favorite melody, music is always my way to connect, create, and unwind. Beyond playing, I also love discovering new artists, attending live performances, and diving into the stories behind the music.
Feel free to explore my playlist recommendations or reach out if you’d love to talk about music!
My Love for Sports
Staying active has always been an essential part of my life. Whether it’s the thrill of running a 5K, the fast-paced excitement of badminton and table tennis, or the freedom of skateboarding, I love the energy and challenge that sports bring. Hiking and biking also give me a chance to explore nature, clear my mind, and appreciate the outdoors.
For me, sports aren’t just about competition—they’re about movement, fun, and pushing my limits. Whether I’m hitting a shuttlecock, cruising on my skateboard, or conquering a new trail,
I’m always up for an adventure!
My Journey in Communication
My career in communication began with a foundation in English. I pursued my undergraduate studies in English in China and had the opportunity to study in the U.S. as an exchange student for two years. During this time, I not only strengthened my language skills but also gained a deeper understanding of cross-cultural communication.
A pivotal moment in my journey was a summer marketing internship, where I was first introduced to the dynamic world of media, social platforms, and advertising. This experience sparked my curiosity, leading me to dive deeper into the industry—researching trends, analyzing campaigns, and exploring the power of storytelling in branding.
This passion ultimately led me to pursue a graduate degree in Advertising and Public Relations at USC Annenberg, where I continue to expand my expertise in strategic communication, digital media, and brand storytelling. Now, I’m eager to apply my knowledge and skills to create meaningful connections between brands and audiences.
