"I am someone who is passionate about further developing my skills and knowledge about Chinese economics and foreign policy. Through my academic coursework both here in the United States and at Peking University in Beijing, and from my experiences working in China, I have gained a greater understanding of the country, its culture, and its financial system, and am eager to expand my knowledge at Georgetown. At MASIA, I hope to deepen my understanding of China's economy and foreign policy and learn how to analyze and make inferences from both."
