Overview

I am a Graduate tutor and PhD student in the School of Modern Languages. From 2012 to 2018, I completed two bachelor's degrees at Shandong University of Arts and Griffith University, and a master's degree at the University of Technology, Sydney, they were all related to film production and media studies. My study experience in different cultural backgrounds of China and Australia has given me a certain understanding of Chinese and Western humanistic culture, film culture, film technology and many other aspects. 

Right after I graduated from the University of Technology, Sydney, I started my career as a assitant producer in the visual production industry in China until 2021. I have participated in several intercultural media products to promote cross-cultural communication.
