With relevant education and experience, as well as a demonstrated passion for Chinese culture and language, I believe I can excel as a blogger for Mashable on the China 2.0 trip.
I graduated last year from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in Chinese and a BS in Advertising with a French minor. I have a diverse set of skills, but I am first and foremost a creative, critical, and independent thinker. I specialize in compelling communication across multiple mediums: I am an excellent writer, an energetic and engaging speaker, as well as an experienced photographer.
In addition, I am fluent in Mandarin Chinese, and lived in China for a full year during 2005-2006.
