Summary

I am a creative and innovative person who are willing to work hard to make things happen. I have a strong learning ability, as evidenced by getting two degrees within four years of my undergraduate degree. Moreover, my other skills such as communication, teamwork and environmental adaptation have been greatly enhanced during my internship experience. Also, my entrepreneurial experience has demonstrated my leadership skill, as I was able to build a website from the initial stage to the stage of development. In this process, I solved all team conflicts and challenges rationally and successfully. These experiences have taught me a lot and made me discover the endless possibilities and potential in myself. I believe that these abilities will be of great use to me in my future work and study. I also expect that I will continue to improve my skills, and keep learning in my career.
