Hi, I’m Xiaoyi!
I am currently a graduate student pursuing dual master’s degrees in Arts Management and Art History at George Mason University. Previously, I received my bachelor’s degree in Radio and Television Directing from Shandong University of Arts, China.
I will be completing my studies in June 2025 and am actively seeking positions in non-profit organizations, the entertainment industry, the film industry, and any company wishing to promote itself and its products through the internet.

I have a diverse background that includes practical experience in radio and media directing, which I developed during my bachelor’s studies in documentary and media directing at Shandong University of Arts from September 2016 to June 2020.
Currently, I am pursuing dual master’s degrees at George Mason University, focusing on arts management and art history, with an expected completion date in June 2025. These educational pursuits have provided me with a solid academic foundation for a future career in the museum and gallery landscape, complemented by my skills in video editing and photography.
In addition to my extensive knowledge in the field, I possess native proficiency in Chinese, which allows me to facilitate seamless cross-cultural communication within diverse teams. I am also well-versed in Adobe Premiere Pro, a tool through which I create visually compelling narratives. You can explore samples of my video editing work in my curated portfolio available on my YouTube channel .
Alongside my expertise in video editing, I excel in photography and utilize Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom to capture and enhance captivating portrait images. A collection of my work can be found on my Instagram portfolio and flickr.
Throughout my academic journey, I have sought opportunities to apply my learnings in practical settings. I have completed internships in variety show production, where I gained hands-on experience in crafting engaging content and fostering viewer engagement and outreach in the digital space. Additionally, I have played a pivotal role in event and exhibition management at an art center, further developing my skills in community engagement and appreciation for the arts.
One of the highlights of my journey has been volunteering at the prestigious Smithsonian Institution. This experience not only deepened my understanding of museum operations but also allowed me to actively contribute to enhancing visitors’ cultural experiences and engagement with a wide range of artistic exhibits. I am excited about the prospect of utilizing my skills, knowledge, and passion for the arts in a professional setting. I eagerly anticipate contributing to the success of organizations in the field of arts management and art history.
