Glad that you want to know more!
Claire (Xinyi) Kuang is currently pursuing her master degree at Georgetown University, enrolled in the Communication, Culture, and Technology program (STEM base) and going to graduate in May 2025. At the same time, she’s lending her talents as a program office assistant in the Environment and Sustainability Management program. Endless energy also makes her to be the COO of a startup and a social media manager in a non-profit comedy club.
Her career path’s been a colorful mix, touching diverse fields such as program management, (social media) marketing, journalism, and finance. Currently, she is seeking for data-related jobs with a passion for social issues such as environmental participation (click here to see my Avatar), entertainment, childcare, and gender equality.
Venturing into grad school, she has willingly stepped outside her comfort zone to acquire technical skills, such as visual design (Adobe Suite, Capcut, Canva, Miro), data processing (MySQL, Tableau, Excel Sheet, Look Studio, RStudio, RAWGraphs), Website Construction (WordPress, Elementor, Figma), CRM platform like Salesforce and hands-on skills like 3D printing.
A true believer in communication, she sees the transformative power of communication to forge connections across diverse fields and unite people from all walks of life. She views communication as a dynamic interplay of expression and listening, a perspective that resonates well with her past experiences.
She armed with an bachelor degree with honor in English with a concentration in Trade and Economics. Over four years, her endeavors have spanned a range of activities, from writing news articles racing against time in the packed stadium to delving into marketing research for New Energy Vehicles, from scheduling events timeline for a whisky bar to cleaning, visualizing and analyzing data for the eco-friendly program.
Her zest for life has propelled her into numerous voluntary initiatives like RSD12: Entangled in Emergence, Chengdu 2021 FISU, 2022 National Art Examination, Spring Bud Plan 2021 Public Welfare, Nanhai Cup International High School Chinese Debate Invitational Tournament, and China Daily’s “21st Century Cup” National English Speaking Competition. She believes in the transformative impact of good deeds, not only enriching her own journey but also making the world a bit brighter.
Outside her academic and professional pursuits, swimming is her favorite sport followed by cycling and running. Do not get her wrong, each of these three is good, but not triathlon. And though she herself is not athletic, you can find her cheering from the sidelines at sports events. Apart from that, as she was raised in a gastronomic city as a Cantonese, fine food delights her the most. Fun fact of her: she’s not only managing the club but also a stand-up & improv comedian in the comedy club :p
In essence, Claire (Xinyi) Kuang’s journey is marked by a continuous quest for engaging and meaningful experiences, aiming for a blend of personal growth and making a difference.
