I am Donna, originally from China, with experience in corporate operations, education, and cross-cultural project work. I spent nearly ten years in the General Manager’s Office of a major listed manufacturing group in China, where I developed strong skills in administration, coordination, and organisational processes. In 2017, I founded an experiential learning programme that later evolved into Panda Cubs International in the UK.
My work now focuses on designing cultural learning activities and leading study tours for visiting families. Beyond my studies, I enjoy cooking, learning about local history, and taking family walks around Canterbury.
