What I'm looking for

I seek a full-time role at a growth-focused organization where I can apply cross-border trade knowledge, operational rigor, and ownership to scale teams and processes.

I am an International Trade graduate from Shanghai Jiao Tong University with hands-on experience executing real business work alongside academic training. I have supported businesses as a freelance Growth & Operations consultant, working directly with founders to identify bottlenecks, coordinate operational workflows, and drive growth-focused initiatives across cross-border, multicultural environments.

I bring strong execution discipline, an ownership mindset, and commercial awareness developed through years of independent work while studying. I am comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous settings, managing acquisition, CRM and funnel systems, market analysis, and marketing operations to deliver measurable value for growth-oriented teams.
