Hello everyone! 

My name is Valen Xu. I’m 21 years old. I’m an international student come from Beijing, China, and I speak mandarin as my first language. My major is Theatre, self-directed focus. I mainly participate in some costume and design related work. My expected graduation time is the summer of 2026. It is my third year of university this year. For my favorite academic subject, I like the design courses I’m taking right now. I have a lot of hobbies, such as singing, dancing, and drawing. I love musicals and VOCALOID songs very much, and I’m also a super fan of anime, comic, games and cosplay. I believe we can be very good friends if you like them too!

I think I don’t have any experience with social media in education, but I do have some experience with video editing and post. I have my own channel on Bilibili and Douyin (Chinese Tiktok). I use them to post the videos that I made, such as vlog, dance cover, song cover, and musical performance. I hope to learn more systematic social media knowledge, broaden my thinking and horizons, and open up more ideas in this course. I want to become a better video creator.
