More About Me
Art History & Appreciation
I love learning about art 🎨. I completed the Barnes-de Mazia Certificate Program offered by Barnes Foundation - a 2-year art history and appreciation program where I received full scholarship from the Violette de Mazia Scholarship Program. I have taken 16+ courses that ranges from Medieval to Modern Art. Some of the courses I took includes
The Traditions of Art - focus on developments in the art of Western Europe, and how modern art evolved in the 19th and 20th centuries
The Elements of Art - deep-dive into the Barnes Objective Method of art analysis
Collection Concentrate - Medieval vs Modern Art: comparative study of medieval visual culture and how modern artists are influenced
The Art of Mesopotamia: A Crossroads of Cultures and Myth
Salvador Dali: Surrealism and Beyond
German Expressionism: Revolution and Resistance
French Literature
I graduated with a second major in French Language from the University of Hong Kong and obtained the DELF C1 Ievel certificate.
I attended summer school in l'Université Grenoble Alpes, the third largest university in France, studying French culture.
I spent a year studying French literature at Yale University under supervision of Professor Lauren Pinzka.
I also completed a summer course by Sorbonne Université on French literature - reading highlights from 16th to 21st century.
Sports
I am a competitive badminton player - as a visiting student, I represented Yale University in intercollegiate badminton tournaments playing doubles from 2017-2018.
In my day-to-day, I keep my routines fun by rotating between weight lifting🏋️, biking🚴, pilates, yoga🧘, pickleball🎾, bouldering🧗 etc. I also love hiking⛰️ - being in nature makes the best weekend plan!
Food
My perfect day starts with an iced matcha latte 🍵 & a cinnamon raisin bagel 🥯
