Born in China in 2000, I came to the United States alone at age 15, living with a host family—an experience that, while often lonely, proved to be profoundly intriguing and formative. I launched a personal social media account that quickly grew to over 10,000 followers within its first year, focusing on sharing the nuanced experiences of international students and fostering cultural exchanges. My undergraduate studies in pure art at Syracuse University allowed me to delve into video and installation art, where I express complex mental and emotional narratives, striving to connect with audiences on a deeply personal level. Pursuing a Master’s in Advanced Media Management, I deepened my expertise through courses like Advanced Media Business, Web Development & Design for Media, Content Management Development & Innovation, AI for Media Professionals, and Data Analysis & Decision Making. These studies equipped me with cutting-edge skills to manage and innovate in the dynamic field of media, aiming to create impactful, technologically integrated stories that bridge diverse cultures.
