More Information

Please contact me to arrange a more detailed viewing of my work.

I am currently in Portland, OR and I am eager to relocate to a new city, or even return back to Shanghai. My spoken Chinese is functional for navigating in China, and I am currently studying Brazilian Portuguese.

Best,
Crystal
