About me

Growing up, my interest in Asia was sparked through my studies of Mandarin. This developed my interest in Chinese art, history, and culture. Since beginning my degree in Professional Communication at RMIT, I’ve been encouraged to examine the ways in which we communicate with each other and to understand the importance of cross-cultural communication in different domains. In the future, I hope to use my Chinese language and communication skills to foster deeper ties between Australia and Asia. In particular, I hope to use my skills to contribute to the global effort to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, and establish more sustainable practices across a variety of industries and communities.
"The Westpac Scholarship offers a unique opportunity to connect with a network of like-minded people and develop a deeper understanding of Asian cultures and perspectives."
