Expertise

I can answer questions in English and Chinese, culture, language, and business (conducting business in China) related.

Experience in the area

I was born in China and grew up in the US. I've attended Chinese school for 6 years in NY while growing up. I've passed proficiency in the language at the University of Pennsylvania. I work for a company that has an overseas office located in Shanghai, China, so I am very much accustomed to communicating in Chinese as well as conducting business in China (I used to travel there 4 times a year).

Education/Credentials

University of Pennsylvania
