Biography

I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Communication at Communication University of China and received Journalism training from Missouri School of Journalism from 2020 to 2024.

In the past year, I worked as a marketing intern in the Psychiatry Business Unit of Johnson & Johnson, focusing on analyzing socioeconomic factors that influence medication decisions of patients with ADHD or Depression. In the future, I am excited to experiment with mixed methods that incorporate socio-cultural indicators into statistical models to better deal with social issues.

When I have time, I really enjoy hiking with my friends, discovering various plants and learning random facts about them. My favorite show is The Office. Also, I love to travel around and try out new foods. When I have time, I will make some homemade cupcakes, ice cream (though unsuccessful occasionally lol), and sushi.
