Summary

Hello, I am Allen Huang, I specialize in independently identifying thought-provoking topics and ensuring content accuracy through cross-verification of academic data, policy documents, and news reports. My long-term focus on tracking domestic and international environmental policies enables me to analyze their lifecycle from draft to implementation while consistently producing 1-2 high-quality in-depth articles weekly. At the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, I translated cutting-edge scientific journal papers on marine conservation into accessible public-facing articles, and analyzed international cooperation efforts in regulating plastic pollution and the high seas. Previously, I opened the 'Earthday Explainers' project at EarthDay.Org to foster environmental discourse. Holding a master’s degree in Media Studies from Syracuse University, I combine interdisciplinary collaboration with clear communication to advance sustainable development and public engagement through a professional lens. You can see my works here or at linktr.ee/allenxhuang.
