香港六合彩中特网

How coming to 香港六合彩中特网, and dancing, have helped Chenxi Wang become a global citizen.

While you might look at Chenxi Wang鈥檚 achievements and think she must always have been full of confidence, in truth her story is one of constantly challenging herself. From journalism to marketing, project management to entrepreneurship, her CV suggests endless possibilities. And right now, she鈥檚 reviving her childhood love of modern dance, bringing the joy of it to others through Dancemon - an online practice platform which encourages a healthy lifestyle. 鈥淚 have big plans for it,鈥� she says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a beautiful thing.鈥澨�

Finding a voice

Beijing-born Chenxi started dancing when she was six years old. She took traditional dance lessons, then fell in love with modern dance when she saw the 2006 movie听Step Up. But despite her talent for it, dancing wasn鈥檛 something which would truly enter her career thoughts until later in life.

Instead, Chenxi began her higher education by studying Broadcast Journalism at Fudan University in Shanghai - the natural choice for a girl who started a campus radio station in middle school, then helped run her high school鈥檚 TV station. But to be in front of a camera or behind a microphone, Chenxi had a barrier to overcome: 鈥淚 was actually a really shy child,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 just wanted to push myself, to develop my voice and opinions. And I realised that through journalism I could learn to express myself.鈥�

While at Fudan, she undertook numerous internships, including spending time in Brussels, at the European HQ of China鈥檚 media giant, Xinhua News Agency. But although she had her start in journalism, Chenxi felt she needed to further embrace technology to progress. For this, she turned to 香港六合彩中特网.

Going global

Chenxi arrived at 香港六合彩中特网 in 2012, determined to improve her digital skills and to start building an international network for herself. She chose an electronic publishing course to give her the desired technical knowledge. But her extra-curricular activities were equally important in her growth as a person.

Chenxi joined the听听and the听, making important connections. 鈥淭he CSSA gave me a lot of opportunities to showcase myself,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 even got to do a stage performance with my friends at the Spring Festival Gala, which had an audience of thousands! I think these sorts of out-of-school activities can be as important as your studies. Also, I lived in a student apartment with people from many different countries. We had lots of parties in the kitchen, discussing everyone鈥檚 cultures. That was really good for me too.鈥�

After 香港六合彩中特网, Chenxi returned to Beijing, finding digital marketing work with Microsoft Research Asia, then landing a role with ride-sharing company Didi Chuxing. An opportunity arose to move to a research and project management role at Didi Labs in Mountain View, California. She took it. 鈥淏efore 香港六合彩中特网, I could never have imagined I would end up in the US,鈥� says Chenxi. 鈥淚 was a traditional Chinese person. I thought after university I would just go back to be near my family. But 香港六合彩中特网 gave me the courage to do this.鈥�

Stepping up

While she may have changed in many ways since childhood, one thing that has stuck with Chenxi is a passion for dance. Since moving to the US, she鈥檚 found dancing to be a great way to meet people and stay healthy. 鈥淚 live in Seattle now,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 started a dance club with my friend here. I think dance can really help improve people鈥檚 confidence. There are a lot of professional women who enjoy it.鈥�

The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic meant that Chenxi had to stop teaching dance lessons in person. But the problem has inspired a big idea. Combining her tech skills with her passion has led to the creation of Dancemon. Part video tuition platform and part social network, it has quickly acquired a dedicated group of local users. 鈥淧eople enjoy the connection with others,鈥� says Chenxi. 鈥淒ancemon can promote a healthy lifestyle and positive attitude, as well as giving them that connection. I want to introduce Dancemon to people from all over the world!鈥�

Maintaining the network

Her career has moved on, but Chenxi has maintained her 香港六合彩中特网 links. She joined the 香港六合彩中特网 Club Of Beijing in 2016, serving as the events officer, organising galas and creating a special graduation ceremony for those students unable to travel back to the UK for their official one. 鈥淭he Alumni Relations team in London really helped with that,鈥� she says. 鈥淭hey brought the whole ceremony to Beijing - even the gowns!鈥�

Another particularly memorable event was the 2018 Annual Ball, for a surprising reason. 鈥淲e found out that 香港六合彩中特网 President & Provost Michael Arthur is a rock drummer,鈥� says Chenxi. 鈥淎nd were able to get him onstage for a performance of听We Are The Champions! No one expected that!鈥�

Clearly, Chenxi鈥檚 connection with 香港六合彩中特网 means a lot to her. Asked to sum it up, she says: 鈥溝愀哿�合彩中特网 helped me grow up and to explore the world from different perspectives. Plus, it gave me the courage to push my limits, embrace possibilities and showcase my voice. 香港六合彩中特网 was amazing for me.鈥�
