Background

About Yan Q.

I have a rich academic background in intercultural communication, media studies, and cultural theory, complemented by diverse skills in research, media production, content creation, and financial management. I hold a Master of Arts in Intercultural and International Communication from Royal Roads University and a Bachelor of Arts in Radio and Television Directing from Shenyang University. Additionally, I am a member of the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) association, with professional expertise in financial management and analysis. My professional journey is multifaceted, starting in media production and evolving into research positions at the Center for Intercultural Dialogue in the USA. As a research assistant, I explored Chinese media history, literature, and industry practices, with my research incorporated into course materials. I have also expanded my expertise into AI, working as an AI Linguistic Analyst and Cultural Expert, where I contribute to the development of AI language models by applying linguistic and cultural insights. Meanwhile, I further honed my storytelling and analytical skills through content creation, marketing strategies, and customer engagement, gaining practical insights into how media narratives shape consumer behaviour. In addition to my media and research work, I apply my understanding of cultural and media theory as a Graphic Design Consultant, creating visual content for academic dissemination. This interdisciplinary approach allows me to translate complex intercultural concepts into clear, accessible visuals, further supporting global dialogue. Currently, I am advancing my research in Asian studies, film, media, and intercultural communication, with a focus on how media practices shape cultural narratives and influence global perceptions. My goal is to contribute meaningful insights into the dynamics of cross-cultural exchanges and the role of media in fostering intercultural understanding.
