Gao Ya: I am a project engineer in TERAO Asia since September 2021. My work is related to various fields including life cycle analysis, energy modeling, etc.
Q2: What do you like in your role at TERAO?
Gao Ya: For me, the most interesting part of working with TERAO is that you can learn many things from working. For instance, I have no specific experience in HVAC design, but as an employee in TERAO Asia, I have got to know much knowledge about HVAC from various projects. This has lifted me and made me learn a lot.

Both from the managers and the newcomers we have received mutual respect here, and we can talk like friends during the common lunch break. I think this harmonious working vibe in TERAO makes me feel less stressed, happier, and more positive toward work.
Q5: What is one of your hobbies outside of work?
Gao Ya: I love squash but unfortunately the booking fee for squash courts is too high in Shanghai, so I am trying to find other interesting sports to substitute.
Q6: Favorite quote/motto?
Gao Ya: “A lady with a real sense of temperament never shows off everything she owns. She never tells people what books she has read, what famous places she has been to, how many clothes she has, or what jewelry she has bought because she has no feeling of inferiority.”
