What I'm looking for

I seek roles in diplomacy, protocol, or international communications where I can apply bilingual skills, support high-level delegations, and contribute to policy or public affairs.

I am an international economics and China studies specialist with hands-on diplomatic and protocol experience in high-stakes settings.

At the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in India I drafted and proofread over 100 administrative Note Verbales, acted as interpreter and protocol liaison, and coordinated logistics for multiple ministerial delegations.

My background includes media editing at Xinhua New Media (329 edited English stories and feature contributions), HR and admin support for overseas infrastructure projects, and volunteer coordination for the Boao Forum for Asia Global Health Forum.

I bring strong bilingual communication skills (native Chinese, professional English), proficiency in Microsoft Office and basic Stata, and leadership experience managing budgets, cross-border student programs, and multi-department teams.
