高中时自己DIY申请美本,2009年顺利来到了心仪的雪城大学学习传媒。作为传媒学院仅有的两个国际生之一,经历了各种语言与文化的考验。通过参加学生社团和兄弟会,体验了美国大学生的压力与快乐。2013年毕业后怀抱着好莱坞梦,搬到了洛杉矶,经过在各种动画公司、电影剧组实习,突然发现这并不是自己未来最想从事的行业。在帮助社区非盈利组织拍摄宣传短片与设计网站的过程中,了解到社会工作这个职业,感受到了使命感的召唤。最终在2015年放下工作重回校园,拿着半奖开始在南加州大学学习社会工作。两年的校园生活给了我又一次发现自己的机会,2017年毕业后在一家跨国非盈利基金会工作至今。从电视电影到社会工作,从纽约到洛杉矶,美国十年留学工作的经历造就了多元的我,希望可以跟大家分享一路走来的成功与挑战,帮助更多的年轻人藉由留学的契机发现更好、更真实的自己。
I want to work as a social worker to serve low-income Asian American immigrants. My organization will use the data we collect from background, physical and mental health assessments to determine what services are in need, and what programs to provide. Methods and practice with proven results from empirical scientific researches will serve as valuable foundations for program development and grant writing to gain supports and funding from both internal and external resources. For example, if my organization plans to start a support group and organize workshops for Asian American families with schizophrenia patients, we will analyze existing studies on how racial identity, sociocultural needs, language capacity and societal perception affect the recruitment and intervention process. We can also use successful models from other empirical studies as a reference to design our curriculum, and having the proven results in advance will help gather internal management supports, improve staff confidence, and enhance external funds solicitation. Thus, utilizing data and scientific information provides guidance to both micro and macro practices.
