I came to Wuxi in East China's Jiangsu province in April 2024 to study and quickly fell in love with the city's beautiful environment, rich cultural traditions, and warm-hearted people. Over the past year, I have actively participated in a variety of local cultural and social events, and I am devoted to promoting mutual understanding between Chinese and international communities.

Some of the activities and contributions I've made include:

Participated in the 2025 Dragon Boat Festival, enjoying and promoting traditional Chinese culture.

Volunteered at the WUXI 2025 Junior & Cadet Fencing World Championships, contributing to international sports events.

Took part in the Wuxi International Month and 2025 Cherry Blossom Festival, strengthening cultural exchange.

Attended the Lantern Festival celebrations, experiencing and sharing the charm of Chinese traditions.

Competed in the Xizhi Jingwu Cup Sanda Competition, winning third place, representing international youths in martial arts.

Also participated in boxing competitions and other local events, contributing to sports and community engagement in Wuxi.

I am passionate about Chinese culture, especially martial arts, and I am always eager to share my positive experiences in Wuxi with others. Through volunteering and participating in local activities, I aim to continue building bridges between cultures.

It would be a great honor for me to be selected as a foreign representative of Wuxi and help promote this amazing city to the world.
