Saying Goodbye

Xiaolu (Lu) Jiang Pursues Masters Degree

Entrenuity/StartingUp Now is saying goodbye to staff member Xiaolu (Lu) Jiang. Lu, originally from Tongling, China, graduated from North Park University May 2016 and began working with us as a Summer Intern after graduation. She then continued on staff as our Accounting Associate. Lu has two Bacheolor’s degrees, one in Finance from Anhui University of Finance and Economics in China, and the other in Business and Economics from North Park. Lu is excited to be going home to China in July for a visit with her family after being gone for two years. She’ll then return to the States for the fall semester to begin a Master’s Degree in Applied Economics at the University of California Los Angeles. Lu’s hard work, gift for numbers and fun personality will be much missed in our offices! We wish her God’s blessings in her future endeavors!
