Summary

Music producer, educator, and researcher with an MM from Berklee College of Music and a BA in Musicology from Henan University. Overcoming the pressures of the Chinese education system and living with bipolar disorder has fueled my passion for using music as a therapeutic and transformative tool. As a music production teacher, I’ve guided students to top institutions like Berklee, NYU, and York University. My work integrates music, mental health, and education, and I aim to further develop these interests through a PhD at Brown University.
