I am an architect/designer from Dallas texas. I was born in Taiwan but grew up in the US. I have been in the architecture field for over 18 years ever since i graduated from college. My past experiences dealt mainly with institutional, housing and senior living type of projects. I moved to SH over 2 years ago looking to help and to improve the senior living condition. Currently I am working freelance for a consulting firm helping to educate chinese developers to better understand about the US CCRC (continuing care retirement communities) and to develop such projects for interested parties. I would like to obtain a position as a director/manager, which will allow me to utilize my skills, knowledge and experience to contribute to and grow with the company. Because of my bilingual skills, fluent in both mandarin chinese and english, and my versatility I believe I would be a great addition and an asset to a firm ready to grow, to expand and to elevate to the next level.
