Michael G.

Above-average writer in terms of speed, eloquence, and subject focus, always described as efficient and proficient by my peers since schooling till my current desk job. I have 10+ years of experience writing articles, newsletters, reports, essays, comparisons, speeches, emails, and blogs. Fluent in English and Mandarin for speaking, listening, and writing, with experience as a translator. 20 years of experience with multiple musical instruments and 3 years of songwriting. About me I'm a Zillenial Chinese American who grew up with first-generation Chinese parents, so I have a good mix of their devotion to hard work and knowing when to take the foot off the gas. When I was a child I was gifted in arithmetic, but I later found a love for writing when the first-generation iMacs were made available to us in elementary school. My handwriting had always been sloppy ever since I exclusively wrote in cursive thanks to a fourth-grade teacher rule, but with the introduction of computers, I could ham away without worrying about penmanship. Paired with a deep desire to read and learn about anything I could get my hands on, my written work only continued to excel as I tackled assignments in class and took on excerpt writing for clubs and leadership positions. After an outstanding performance in a group interview along with a more-than-competent essay, I found myself in medical school, preparing to spend the rest of my years dutifully serving the commonwealth. My core personality lies in selflessness and giving, and I could not see a better way to serve than to protect people's health and save their lives. However, the pandemic presented an unprecedentedly uncondusive learning environment for me, and I discovered my passion ultimately lies in serving people, not medicine. I did not have to tunnel vision my future and continue living through stressful conditions; I had a choice. So I made the extremely challenging decision of leaving medical school and choosing a different career path. I have multiple skill sets and bounties of knowledge I acquired throughout the years, and it is so freeing to have so many doors open. I can be more creative through Chinese language and culture, or through song writing and performing, or just through the vocation of writing itself. It would be my genuine pleasure to help you any way I can, even if it means mundane tasks on my end, just so I can assist you towards your end goal. Thank you for reading a little about me. Let's achieve together.
