What I'm looking for

I seek roles that let me produce investigative and human-centered video journalism, collaborate with editorial teams, and grow as a filmmaker in mission-driven newsrooms.

I am a multimedia journalist with extensive experience producing video and print stories focused on urban issues, arts & culture, and social justice. I bring years of newsroom experience at outlets covering both Chinese and international audiences.

My career includes roles as Multimedia Journalist at Sixth Tone and Video Journalist at The Paper and Medill News Service, where I led reporting, shooting, and editing on complex, community-focused stories. I hold a Master’s Degree in Journalism from Northwestern University and a strong foundation in news writing and video editing.

I am an aspiring filmmaker who combines rigorous reporting with compelling visual storytelling to engage audiences and illuminate underreported issues.
