About

I value the power of communication, and my education background in language and business makes me more aware of its beauty. While I was pursuing my BBA degree, I realize business was not merely about calculation of impersonal figures, but also about connection with people who are unique as an individual.

During my days as an exchange student in Europe, I applied this thought to a more multicultural level: communicating and working with people from different cultural background provided me with brand-new perspectives to approach a problem, as well as a lot of fun when learning new things. Such experience inspired me to learn more about intercultural communication by applying for a MA degree in translation.

I am particularly glad that now I am able to further sharpen my strength in both language and business in the localization management program offered by MIIS. My skill-set of language, management and technology makes me a ready applicant for the dynamic localization industry.
