Bio

I am an MBA candidate at the DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University, with top grades in Financial & Managerial Accounting (A+), Business Analytics (A+), and Managerial Economics (A). With a background in financial engineering and professional experience in banking, industry research, and financial analysis, I have developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills. At the Bank of China, I collaborated with a team to market over $300,000 in credit plans and processed 300+ international remittances. As a Research Assistant at Beijing Wuzi University, I evaluated a city’s trade development plan, and during my internship at Everbright Financial Leasing, I prepared detailed financial reports. Fluent in English and Mandarin, proficient in Excel, and currently learning Python, I am passionate about leveraging data and teamwork to solve complex problems.
