About Me

Originally from Guangzhou, China, I obtained a BA in biology and anthropology. Right now, I am pursuing my MA in visual anthropology at Goldsmiths. I am a freelance filmmaker with experience in producing, directing, and editing documentaries.

In addition to English being my primary language, I speak and write Cantonese and Mandarin. I also like to cook and boulder during my free time.

Education

Brandeis University, BA Biology and Anthropology '19
- Relevant courses: film production

Goldsmiths University of London, MA Visual Anthropology '20
- Relevant courses: Anthropology Video Production

Experience / Qualifications

English tutor (2014-2015):
I tutored university students in English when I was in high school, which I created a 3 month curriculum specific to the students.

Mentor/tutor (2015-2016):
I served as a mentor to Chinese international students in my undergraduate, providing mental and academic support.

Freelance filmmaker (2018-present):
I drafted storyboards, wrote scripts, executed video production independently from initiation to final presentation. Experienced video editor in Adobe Premiere Pro.
With a honours BA in anthropology and now an MA candidate in visual anthropology, I am highly experienced in academic essay writing. I have also experience in tutoring English to non-native speakers, so my goal is to help students improve their writing and grammar not only within an academic setting. I am available for any help from essay structuring, grammar, SAT and GRE prep, and building academic vocabulary.
Adobe Premiere Pro is a highly effective and powerful program for video editing and filmmaking. It is used by not only industry professionals but also film enthusiasts that simply want to make a video for YouTube. I am an experienced freelance filmmaker, and I hope to teach the basics of non-linear editing through Adobe Premiere Pro so that students who are interested in making their own films can learn how to make their own films on their own computers. This class is designed for beginners who are interested in learning how to use the program. You will learn the basic tools and keyboard shortcuts, as well as the basic workflow of the interface. You will also learn the basics of video editing working with film clips or your own footage.
