Tell us about yourself and your journey to postgraduate study.

I am outgoing and enjoy communicating with others and have fun while helping others. I specialize in directing, shooting, and editing films and short videos, particularly within the media and film industry. I hold an MA in Film and Television Production from Teesside University and am currently pursuing an MA in Film and Television: Research and Production at the University of Birmingham. Academically, I have led teams in the production of several award-winning short films and contributed scholarly articles to the field of film and television.

My professional experience includes internships at leading film and television companies in China, where I focused on film promotion, post-production management, and intellectual property development. Additionally, I possess presentation skills, with experience as a part-time model and host in China.

I think the University of Birmingham is very welcoming to international students, with many international exchange activities, and the teachers here are all very dedicated and responsible and I hope I can make more friends and exercise myself and help more people in campus work.
