Hi! Salut! 你好! Olá!

My name is Zirina, a Chinese student with a super mixed background, and I’m currently studying the first year of Master in Management - Grande École at ESSEC.
I was born and raised in a beautiful coastal city in northern China - Yantai - famous for its delicious cherries, apples, pears, and countless fresh seafood. After taking part in the Chinese College Entrance Examination (and worked really hard for it! XD), I went to the National University of Singapore (NUS) to pursue my bachelor’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering. During my time at NUS, I was fully active by participating in volunteering projects in Poland, exchanging at UC Berkeley in the US, and joining the summer programs in both Sweden and France.

After graduating from NUS, I decided to work in the e-commerce industry in Singapore to gain some practical professional experience. It turned out to be the correct choice for me as I loved my job as a product manager and also discovered my professional passion. I was also fortunate enough to earn the opportunity of being assigned to Brazil to work for a year, during which time I was fully immersed in the Latin American culture and discovered more and more different parts of the world.

You may ask, why come to France after all the experiences I’ve had? Well, actually living and studying in France has always been my dream, ever since my first French course at NUS. It is also the time for me to explore more career opportunities. I was deeply attracted by the chair & tracks program at ESSEC, and particularly the LVMH chair, and also the flexibility that MiM program can offer (exchange, double degree, dual degree, etc). Personally, I would like to dedicate myself to the digital transformation of traditional companies like LVMH. Now I’m pleased to say that after the competitive selection process, I am offered a seat at the 34th class of the LVMH Chair!

There are just so many opportunities here at ESSEC that I’m excited to find out about, I believe you do too! So please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions and I would be happy to answer them! :)
