Professional long-term goals
Serving for the public’s health, safety and welfare, I am looking forward to gain specialty in institutional projects and social infrastructures, believing that it has the power to fight inequality and the decline of civic life. (Eric Klinberg) Based in the United States, I am willing to work on international projects which require countless travels overseas collaborating with multi-disciplinary professionals and cultures. Through this experience I am hoping to gain consilient and resilient perspectives towards people and life. With rich experience earned through education and profession in the United States, I want to open a interdisciplinary architecture firm with network of people with good heart. At the stage of a senior architect, I want to contribute my knowledge and passion through sharing my belief, “learn to give” in tandem as an architect at the United Nations.
