R H is a Teacher. They is proficient in Chinese and English and French. Colleagues describe them as "This is recommendation for Mengrong (Melinda) Hu, who has worked as a volunteer for Evergreen Education Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit in Oakland, California. www.evergreeneducation.org Melinda has volunteered to work on several Conferences primarily doing written and spoken translation. She has translated academic papers and presentations from English to Chinese, as well as Chinese to English, for publication in the Conference Proceedings. Additionally, Melinda did live translations for English speaking presenters at the Conferences. Melinda’s command of both English and Chinese languages produced very high quality translations; and more importantly enabled the sharing of academic information and research among two cultures. I have had the opportunity to provide some mentoring to Melinda as she came to the USA, to study at Huntington University. I would like to point out the following differentiating qualities to her potential employer. 1. Melinda is constantly pushing to increase the quality of the learning experience. As evidenced by her learning new techniques from western educators and then using them as the basis of innovative teaching methods she developed at Jinhua High School. 2. Melinda desires to fully understand western and eastern cultures; and to promote a greater global understanding. This is evidenced by Melinda leaving a comfortable position in China to study in the USA. I believe her intention was to experience western culture for herself so she would be better equipped to teach about foreign cultures. 3. Melinda is generous with her time to help those who need it, particularly the underprivileged. Melinda has given extensive amounts of her time and effort as a volunteer for Evergreen Education Foundation. Being from an underprivileged region herself, Melinda has given back by helping Evergreen bring education opportunities to rural China. I would highly recommend Melinda to any potential employer."
