- Description
- My name is Linde Underwood. I am 24 years old and am originally from Springfield, Missouri. I moved to Qingdao, China over four years ago as an exchange student studying Chinese language and culture at Qingdao University. After I studied in China for a year, I was not ready to go home, and I took an internship with a biotechnology company in Qingdao, China. The internship turned into a full time job, and I decided to postpone my studies for awhile in order to take advantage of the great experience of living and working in China. Last year, I decided to finish my bachelor's degree. My University in Missouri does not offer a degree in Chinese language, so I created an individualized major in Chinese. I recently passed the HSK level 5. Part of my senior project for my major is translating Chinese short stories. I think working on the Marco Polo project would be a great place for me to start honing my translation skills while also working towards a great cause of promoting cross cultural understanding.
