Working in a global healthcare communication company as a digital media strategist, my goal is to create a culture of connection among patients, physicians, pharmaceutical companies and policymakers, by providing innovative and cost-effective solutions that drive smarter decision-making and advance medicine.

I started my first job when healthcare-focused digital and social media was in its infancy and have witnessed how social media and digital technologies have revolutionized the healthcare landscape. In the last few year, I have developed comprehensive digital and social media programs for pharmaceutical, hospital and non-profit clients. These include mobile applications that help patients manage their conditions or promote early diagnosis; social media programs that analyze insights from patients and physicians to create future solutions; web-portals that raise disease awareness and reduce stigmatization; online tools that improve patient-physician communication; and digital channels that facilitate patient engagement in clinical studies.

I have BA in Journalism from Peking University (Beijing, China) and a Master's degree in Communication and Information Studies form Rutgers University (New Brunswick, NJ). Long motivated to become a public health pioneer, I am excited about the opportunity to pursue an MPH in Healthcare Management at Columbia University in New York City this fall
