Biography
I started studying Chinese as a high school senior taking post-secondary classes at Cleveland State University. I enjoyed it so much that I enrolled at The Ohio State University as a Chinese major the following year. During the summer of 2004, I participated study abroad program in Qingdao, China. I left Qingdao with lasting friendships and a unique understanding of cross-cultural communication that have directed my career interests ever since. During the 2005-2006 academic year, I directly enrolled in Beijing Language and Culture University on scholarship from the Chinese Ministry of Education. After my year abroad, I returned to OSU and graduated the following winter quarter (2007).
Being an Ohio State student, I was already well introduced to the Chinese Flagship Program. From the information I gathered from classmates and teachers, Flagship seemed to fit my interests perfectly—not only could I continue to study Chinese language and culture, but also develop my interest in International Relations. Since my enrollment, I have benefitted greatly from the courses and instruction Flagship has provided, particularly from the one-on-one instruction I get from my domain mentor. After graduation, I plan to use my training to pursue a career promoting the mutual understanding and benefit of China and the U.S., possibly with United States government.
