Connie Wang

Hi! I’m Connie, studying Korean Language and Culture at NCCU. As a Research Assistant on Dr. Reidhead’s team, I am responsible for collecting data.

From the experiences of traveling to Korea, I became interested in the Korean language, culture, and society. Consequently, I have continuously improved my Korean skills, enabling me to broaden my horizons to see the world from different perspectives.

I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to join this team, which allows me to put my learning into practice and learn a great deal.
