My Passion

The precision, adaptability, and innovation in the intricate dance between supply chain logistics and marketing fascinates me. My academic background, majoring in both Supply Chain, Operations, and Technology (S.C.O.T.) and Marketing, has equipped me with a unique skill set that spans both the analytical and creative realms. I possess the ability to critically analyze data and supply chain operations while also understanding the intricacies of consumer behavior and the art of crafting compelling marketing campaigns. This balance positions me well to contribute at the intersection, bridging the gap between these two disciplines and ensuring that they work harmoniously.

Supply Chain

What interests me about supply chain, especially in the context of globalization, is its pivotal role in the global economy. It offers a unique blend of strategy, logistics, and problem-solving. I'm captivated by the idea of creating efficient systems that bridge geographical boundaries, connect markets, and maximize resource utilization. The continuous challenges and the need to adapt to global market fluctuations make supply chain management a dynamic and ever-changing field.

​

Challenges excites me. The ever-evolving nature of international trade ensures that there will always be new challenges to tackle. Whether it's optimizing supply routes, implementing sustainable practices, or navigating international regulations, the field keeps me engaged and motivated to find creative solutions. I am motivated by the opportunity to optimize processes, reduce waste, and contribute to a company's profitability and sustainability. Knowing that my work can enhance a company's competitiveness in the global market is a powerful motivator. The field also offers the chance to build and maintain international relationships, fostering cross-cultural communication and collaboration, which I find personally rewarding.

​

My educational background equips me with a solid foundation in supply chain principles. I've demonstrated strong analytical skills, adaptive problem-solving abilities, and a flair for data analysis in my academic and internship experiences. My involvement in consulting for WeSki, where I analyzed supply chain strategies, allowed me to understand the complexities of international supply chains. My adaptability, attention to detail, and ability to work in diverse teams position me well for this field.

​

One area I am excited to further develop is my knowledge of global trade regulations and compliance. International supply chain management requires a deep understanding of trade laws and customs procedures, which I aim to enhance through internships and relevant courses and certifications. The field of supply chain management appeals to me due to its dynamic nature, real-world impact, and opportunities for problem-solving and innovation. My academic background and skillset have prepared me to make a valuable contribution, and I am committed to further developing my skills to excel in this field.

Marketing

Marketing is a dynamic and multifaceted domain that not only shapes the success of businesses but also influences the choices and behaviors of consumers around the world. What particularly fascinates me about this field is the intersection of culture, communication, and commerce on a global scale. One of the aspects is the opportunity to work with diverse international markets. As someone born in China, educated in the British system, having moved to the United States, and studied abroad in Israel, I have personally experienced the significance of cultural nuances in marketing. Globalization has led to a world where markets are interconnected, but understanding the unique cultural and social aspects of each market is crucial for successful marketing strategies. I am drawn to the challenge of creating campaigns that resonate with people from various backgrounds. To me, marketing provides an avenue for driving innovation and impact. It's not merely about selling products; but is also addressing challenges and acting as a catalyst for social change and sustainability. I'm passionate about leveraging marketing to promote products and services that have a positive impact on society. The ability to combine creativity with purpose is a strong motivator for me.

​

My academic background equips me with analytical and problem-solving skills. During my internship at Achievable, Inc., I conducted in-depth analysis of social media posts, providing insights to optimize content. This experience demonstrates my data-driven approach to marketing. My language proficiency in Mandarin and English is an asset in reaching global audiences and understanding cultural nuances.

Additionally, I have experience in cross-functional teamwork, having led a project team during my internship in Israel. This experience enhanced my ability to communicate and collaborate effectively in a diverse, international context. My proficiency in Mandarin and English is an asset for global communication and negotiation.

​

While I possess analytical and cross-cultural communication skills, I recognize that marketing in the context of globalization demands a deep understanding of local markets. This is an area where I see room for improvement. To address this gap, I plan to invest in continuous learning and conduct more extensive market research in target regions. I also aim to enhance my knowledge of international business regulations and customs. Marketing in the context of globalization presents an exciting opportunity to blend my international background with my passion for creativity and impact. This field's dynamic nature, emphasis on culture, and potential to drive positive change align with my aspirations.
