Manuela Zoninsein is a Brazilian-American writer who has been covering Greater China from Beijing and Taipei for the last three years. She oversees Mandarin content for Dell’s “Take Your Own Path” campaign as Asia Bureau Chief and regularly reports for Newsweek magazine, and the Engineering News-Record and Monocle. Prior to that, she served as the dining editor of Time Out Beijing. A native of Rio de Janeiro Brazil, Manuela grew up in Evanston Illinois, and spent a year working on the commodities exchange floor of the Chicago Board of Trade before moving east to attend Harvard University, where she received a degree in Social Studies and a Certificate in Latin American Studies. She is interested in the intersection of food, agriculture and the environment. Her conviction that information and technology exchange can serve as tools for development and sustainability led her to establish AgriGate, a business intelligence newsletter focused on the agritech landscape. She will continue to explore China’s agricultural policies in the MSc program in Modern Chinese Studies at Oxford University in October 2010.
