Haihong Chen completed her undergraduate studies at Tongji University in China, where she received a degree in Culture Industry Management with a concentration in business management. She used to work as a sales manager in Nancy’s Gallery, a 10-year-old contemporary art company in Shanghai. In this position, Haihong was in charge of designing sales strategy and enforcing sales policies. She worked on the issues with marketing and client services while also supervised new employees training. In addition, Haihong has volunteered in Long Museum as tour guide and taught children English in an elementary school of Siri Lanka.

Haihong has now graduated from the Arts Administration Master’s program at Boston University. Passionate in contemporary art and museum education, she plans to use her skills from the Arts Administration program to facilitate models for international collaborations and develop education programs for Chinese museums.

The program provided both theoretical knowledge and practical chances of interacting with arts organizations in the real world. The diversity of classmate experiences opened up one’s mind and its comprehensive courses offered me the chance to rediscover my interest and passion in art education.
