What is your previous work experience, if any? Please describe briefly.

During my undergraduate studies, I interned in both public and private sectors. Most recently, I worked at SGS as a carbon & energy consultant, assisting high-emission companies in transitioning to greener practices. This internship gave me insights into the common challenges faced by high-emission companies. A significant issue was balancing corporate profits with social responsibility, as many companies viewed ESG initiatives as costly challenges.

Why did you choose the Nicholas School's professional master's 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû program(s)?

Addressing environmental problems requires an interdisciplinary approach, and after reviewing the official page of Duke, I found that Nicholas School is a perfect fit. The MEM program’s diverse curriculum and practical Master project offer a great opportunity to tackle real-world issues. I believe this program will provide me with valuable expertise and experiences, and I’m excited to connect with like-minded people.

Do you have any areas of interest or special focus you plan to undertake during your time at the Nicholas School and Duke?

I hope to explore how businesses can align profitability with environmental responsibility and use innovative technology to drive sustainability initiatives internally. Additionally, I am interested in how international cooperation can enhance the clean energy transition.

What are your career aspirations?

After graduation, I plan to join a consulting firm to help companies navigate green transformation or work in a business incubator to research green technologies and support sustainable startups.
