Assistant Art Instructor
– Present
Born in Tianjin China, I grew up in China (10 years) and then lived in Canada for 12 years. I am fluent in Mandarin and English, native level. Now university graduated, I'm currently exploring CSR work in China - learning about protecting worker's rights, communicating business goals and studying labour law. Looking to document this experience in film.
I am currently looking for opportunities in China and abroad to offer exceptional cross-cultural communications skills, interview and documentary experience, and an adept understanding of Eastern to Western cultures. I bring passion and genuine empathy for telling people's stories and bridging cultures through documentary film.
I am bright, resourceful, creative, articulate and an ideal communicator to any team. I am highly considerate, empathetic and a strong public speaker and listener.
I am experienced in facilitating creative projects, organizing film screening, writing, research, media production, programming and administrative assistance in the arts.
Experienced & self taught in illustration.
