CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am an optimistic girl who always has a big smile on the face. I love travelling, hiking, improvisation, telling stories, NGO work, and social entrepreneurship. I have been pursuing a life full of challenges, surprises and adventures and love to meet people with diverse background! I am a storyteller. I love meeting with people with stories.
I grew up in a small town in Shandong Province. When I was 18, I attended a university in Beijing, University of International Business and Economics, with first-class scholarship. In 2009, I went to New York and Hong Kong for University exchange program. Since graduation I have been working in a global consulting company. As a consultant, I usually work on the client site during the project period. That enables me to live in different cities all around China. Up till now, I have lived and experienced the whole range of cities in China from the first-tier to the fifth-tier.
After 2.5 years, I quitted consulting and worked for a hi-tech startup offering peer-to-peer car sharing services. And as the earliest advocation of sharing economy in China, I founded the Sharing Economy Association to get more people to understand and participate in the practice.
I found my career passion is in the entrepreneur world. Now I work for a VC with a focus of the hi-tech startup. I am really happy to help the entrepreneurs to achieve their ambition!

PHILOSOPHY
