Mathematical Finance Student
Who I Am
My academic passion is wide across different subjects, business, mathematics, finance, computer science. I'm a current grad student at University of Toronto, studying towards Master of Mathematical Finance.
Prior professional developmental experiences include but not limit to teaching English in Europe, teaching and tutoring math courses at U of T, assisting in Credit Application Department at Bank of China Canada, and analyzing & solving problems in a technical department at U of T.
Living and studying in Toronto, I have had the opportunity to learn so much from a number of excellent instructors, professors and friends in different subjects. A special thanks to Kathleen Smith, Prof. Rafi, Kathy, and my parents. I won't be achieving my life goals so far without their support.
Prior to Toronto, I have been living for almost twenty years in China, with frequent travel abroad to places such as Indonesia, United States of America. Had been living in the states and Europe for over six weeks respectively. Would be proud to be a world citizen, as encouraged by our high school's mission.

Learning a skill is similar to climbing a mountain. There's no end to the process of it. Unlike climbing the mountain, there's no limit of how high the level you achieve. The skill level depends on your willingness to learn, to try, and to practice over and over.
Listed are several, but definitely not the complete one of skills that I have acquired so far with my limited time and effort devoted. Most are trained and gained within recent four to five years, and are keep being improved through current coursework and self-learn.
Feel free to stay tuned for more projects that will be shared soon ( when I am free from schoolwork)
