Hi, I’m Xinqi Zhang. I’m pursuing a Master of Public Administration at the University of Washington, with a focus on state and local governance, social equity, and public finance. I earned my Bachelor of Finance from Marquette University and was named on the Dean’s List in 2021 and 2024. My work spans research, policy analysis, budgeting and forecasting, and hands-on marketing and campaign experience across the U.S. and China. I enjoy turning data into policy insights and stories into engaging multimedia content. As a co-creator & producer at Chen Xuan Studio, I designed interactive word games, wrote over 200,000 words of original scripts, and led a community of 100+ players. I’m excited to apply rigorous analysis and creative storytelling to public service and social impact projects.
