Xiangjia Li

Academically, I possess a foundational knowledge of mineral processing and the properties of metals, bolstered by practical skills in AutoCAD (Fusion 360) and basic Python programming.

I am an enthusiastic and versatile individual with a strong passion for sports and digital content creation. As a skilled athlete, I have excelled in badminton and basketball, securing a second place in men's singles at the Provincial Cegep badminton tournaments in Quebec, and serving as the starting point guard at both my high school and Cegep Marianopolis. Beyond athletics, I am a prominent content creator on Douyin, where I have amassed 350,000 followers by producing engaging videos that introduce American high school basketball players to a Chinese audience.
In addition to my athletic and creative pursuits, I am musically inclined and have played guitar in a high school band. My diverse abilities enable me to contribute dynamically to any team or project.

As a Material Engineering student at McGill University, my academic journey has been dedicated to understanding the properties and potentials of materials, aligning seamlessly with Tesla's mission to revolutionize products through innovative material solutions. My enthusiasm for Tesla's forward-thinking ethos, combined with a foundational knowledge of mineral processing and familiarity with CAD software such as AutoCAD (Fusion 360), equips me to contribute meaningfully to the Materials Engineering Team. I am drawn to this internship as it offers a unique platform to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical implementation, particularly in fastener and materials engineering, areas where I have honed focused skills. My proactive involvement in sports, achieving second place in Provincial Cegep badminton tournaments, and leading as a point guard in basketball, has instilled in me a competitive spirit and teamwork ethic that would thrive in Tesla's dynamic environment. Furthermore, my successful engagement with a large audience on Douyin highlights my ability to communicate effectively and my adeptness in leveraging technology to connect and inform, an asset when coordinating across various Tesla functions. I am confident that my unique blend of technical knowledge, practical skills, athletic discipline, and digital fluency sets me apart as a candidate poised to support and enhance Tesla's visionary projects.
