Education
BA in Data Analytics and Business Administration
National Chengchi University
As a research assistant under Dr. Reidhead, I contribute to a project exploring Taiwan and Korean politics, focusing on data collection and analytics. With a major in data analytics from the International College of Innovation and a double major in Business Administration, I offer a diverse skill set to our research team.
Previously, I served as the student president of ICI, overseeing my department, and founded the SLAM language exchange club, a platform where local and international students gather. Through SLAM, I organize an English camp for local high school students.
For side projects, I authored 3 books: “Life Design Major 3 Principles: Happiness, Future Roadmaps, and Manifestation,” “AUS Working Holiday Guidebook,” and “K-Military Mindset Guidebook.” Additionally, I have been a stock and crypto investor since 2020.
Combining my academic journey, leadership experience, and community engagement, I am dedicated to contributing to our project. I am eager to apply my diverse skill set to shed light on this field.
