About 

I am a graduate student at the University of Southern California majoring in Architecture and will graduate in May.

My educational background both in the bachelor and master of architecture has provided me with opportunities to explore innovative design strategies, such as BIM and parametric design, while allowing me to be exposed to varies disciplines of economies, sustainability and real estate.  The knowledge I have gained through architecture courses has enhanced my capacity to perform a job such as this one, and fostered a desire to apply my knowledge in a practical way. My internship in architecture at Zhejiang Institute of Architecture Design helped me understand the importance of design architecture in detail. I learned firsthand that small details add up and good space require the drive to find answers. In addition, Work as an architect intern in China railway construction corporation Performs basic calculations, Prepares materials for presentations or client meetings, Gathers information on clients, drafting correspondence. I am eager to see my knowledge and skills be fully utilized by your company.

 

As a Chinese who has been studying english for over 15 years, I am fluently bilingual in both mandarin Chinese and English. Having received education and professional practice in two different cultural backgrounds, I know the importance of understanding the vernacular environment, cultural issues and social conflicts embedded in a piece of architecture. 

 

I look forward to hearing from you. I should be most grateful if you would kindly arrange an interview opportunity with me from which we can further discuss your company's new endeavors.
