About

Background

Born and raised in the northern part of Formosa – Taiwan. Immigrated across the Pacific Ocean and embarked on my journey to pursue the American dream as an international student at age 16. Having first settled in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and later in Seattle, Washington, I have grown to embrace the American culture through schooling and employment. At the same time, I continue to be passionate about introducing my Taiwanese culture to Americans through community services. The experiences of resettling in a new country have taught me the importance of staying optimistic and enthusiastic about the things I love in life. In addition, my multicultural background enables my ability to consider things from broader perspectives and from other points of view.

Education

I obtained an Associate of Arts & Science from Bellevue College in 2018, an Associate of Arts in Interior Design in 2021, and certified with a User Experience Certificate from Bellevue College Continue Education In Winter 2019. Currently in junior year in acquiring BAA in Interior Design from Bellevue College, expected graduation in 2023.

Professional Growth

I firmly believe my experiences across multiple industries – especially on the customer-centric facet, help me to better understand a company’s identity with whom I work and empathize with its cause.

Passions

I love to draw, design, and be creative through playing the harmonica, theater performance, taking photos, and photo editing is a new passion I’ve picked up while going on hikes and camping ever since I started college. I have also broadened my photography focus from nature sceneries to personal portraits and wedding photos.

It has always been my dream to develop a career involving creativity and designing while bringing positive impacts to people’s lives.

I am a life-long volunteer and love to contribute to communities, I served on the Board of Directors of the Seattle Chinese Cultural and Arts Association (SCCAA) until 2020, and on the Board of Directors of the Taiwanese Junior Chamber of Commerce in Seattle (TJCCS) until 2021. Currently, a student member of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) of the Northern Pacific Chapter/Pudget Sound Campus Center.
