Jia is a Product Cost Manager by day, gym frequenter by night and outdoorer on weekend.
“During my first job, I asked my manager to help kick off my green card process since the H-1B visa is only good for six years. Instead of kicking off the process like most managers at the company, he told me to marry an American man to get my Green Card. It was the most disrespectful conversation I’d ever had. I made up my mind that I was going to find a new job since I couldn’t continue working under him, then I got a great offer from Apple.
I’m the first to graduate college in both my mother’s and my father’s families. I’m the first to study overseas and graduate with a Masters degree. I was the one who made the down payment on the place where my parents live. From worrying how to pay my college tuition, to getting my green card, to becoming a Supply Chain Management professional at Google, I’m so proud of what I’ve achieved.”
