About

I was born in China and at the age of 13, I moved to Houston, TX with my family. Then I went to North Carolina for my high school. Now, I double majored finance and psychology in Michigan State University.
I've played piano for 18 years and that's the reason for me to joined the orchestra at my high school. That's one of the most correct decision I ever made. Because of that, I've learned how to work with others and enjoy it very much. In the group, everyone has their own part so they are all unique. And at the moment when these unique people work together, the whole groups shines even more than we expected.
Because I love library, I did an internship in Houston Public Library. My job is to check all the returns and printed the lists of books that transfer between the whole library system. While I enjoying the working place, I've learned how to use some techniques and computer skills.
I've worked in the front desk at a dental clinic for two years. The biggest gift for this job is that I have many chances to improve my communication skills and arrangement skills.
I really like to try everything and I have confidence that no matter what job, I will do my best to competence it.
