Graduation Quarter: Spring 2021

Hello! I am an international student from Taiwan. I went to Shoreline Community College and got my associate degree in arts. I transferred to the University of Washington Tacoma in 2019 and I am currently majoring in Information Technology. When I was in Taiwan, I graduated from the National Taipei University of Business with an associate degree in Business Administration. However, I wanted to change my direction, so I decided to come to the United States to get my bachelor’s degree.

When I first came to the United States to study, I faced lots of challenges while being abroad alone. I understand what it feels like being away from your family and that is why I wanted to become a Global Affairs Fellow and help the international students at the UWT. I hope that by being a Global Affairs Fellow, I can help students to overcome culture shock, and feel more comfortable being at the UWT.

I am very excited to be a part of the OGA and would love to connect with new people. I am a huge foodie, so I am always down for some good food and bubble tea! :)
