Personal statement

Globalization and technology have rapidly changed our worldwide economy and rules of doing business. It requires every organization and individual to accelerate the process of adapting to the trends. Understanding global markets and trade law is essential, but creating the flexibility and resilience is even more important to work in the fast-growing global business nowadays.

Aspiring to work and act as a global citizen has inspired me in facilitating the fundamental knowledge about global trade, being connected to the expert communities, committing to share and support business growth.

The Master of Global Trade program under Hinrich Foundation offers the best opportunities to enhance my skills, networks and abilities.

Besides financially funding to the program, Hinrich Foundation is playing an active role in connecting people in the diverse fields and skills. This promises a lot of productive discussions and knowledge exchanges to form our expert community and supporting resources to the global trade sustainability.
