Violin with Vanessa C.

I am a quick adaptor to any foreign environment by actively establishing connections with an open mind. I grew up in Nanjing, China, completed two study abroad programs in Italy, received my bachelor's degree from the College of William and Mary, and master's degree from Columbia University. Throughout my years of study in the US, China, and Italy, I have been actively engaged in activities that foster intercultural communications such as serving as a host family for exchange students in high school, participating in the Global Friends Network at the College of William & Mary, and being a course facilitator for the Pre-College Program at Columbia University. My multilingual skills coupled with educational and professional experience in American, Italian, and Chinese cultures have shaped me into a cosmopolitan with a unique cultural sensitivity. I am a classical music fan, and has been playing the violin for over 12 years. I also enjoy dancing hiphop and jazz.
