About
I am an international student from China. I have completed my four-year undergraduate education in Willamette University, Salem Oregon. My bachelor degree is in Economics, with minors in Mathematics and Environmental Sciences. I am fluent in Chinese, English and Japanese. From my study abroad experience in Japan, I became interested in Environmental Sciences and Engineering. In graduate school, I am exploring the field of Civil and Environmental Engineering to understand the environmental challenges and resources distribution that the modern society needs.
