Welcome

My name is Alice Brown and I am dual majoring in Multinational Business and Economics with a minor in Geography. This past summer I studied abroad with FSU in Tianjin, China where I took two Mandarin Chinese language courses and a course in Chinese culture and history. My experiences in China greatly impacted my worldview as I was able to experience a country that I'd previously only been able to get to know through books.

Career Objectives

Ultimately I would like to work with American companies that are trying to enter the Chinese market by providing them with information about policies, laws, local culture and business practices. China already plays a substantial role in the global marketplace and will only continue to grow in importance. Ensuring that American businesses are well equipped with the information to enter and compete in such a different market is essential for their success and our nation's success as a whole. I hope to begin the journey toward gaining the extensive knowledge necessary for consulting through spending a year in China after graduation in an intensive language program, and later returning to the United States to work for the International Trade Administration analyzing foreign trade, specializing in intellectual property rights in China.
