As an experienced ESL instructor, I’ve taught English to students in Taiwan, ranging from ages 5 to 65+. I create a positive, engaging online classroom that adapts to different learning styles, ensuring a personalized experience. I also conduct trial classes to highlight the benefits of my lessons. By assessing language proficiency and offering constructive feedback, I help students achieve their language goals and build confidence in English.

As the Head Photographer at COCOMELODY, I led the conceptualization and direction of photoshoots for the company's e-commerce platform, overseeing a team of 20+ professionals to create high-quality, visually appealing images. I implemented color management techniques, developed mood boards, and streamlined workflows, achieving a 20% increase in production efficiency. Additionally, I managed annual budgets and coordinated the production of over 2,200 product and campaign photos, aligning with sales and marketing timelines.

As a news videographer at TVBS, I passionately captured dynamic video footage and compelling b-rolls alongside reporters for two daily news programs. I thrived in the fast-paced environment, expertly editing footage with Avid software to craft engaging news videos that adhered to the highest standards of journalistic integrity. With a keen eye for lighting and composition, I ensured every frame contributed to powerful and impactful storytelling.

Following my successful experience in the ISEP exchange program, I continued my academic journey as an exchange student at the University of Utah. There, I expanded my knowledge by taking courses in business management and embraced the unique opportunity to ski on Utah's beautiful mountains.

As an exchange student at Saint-Mary-of-the-Woods College, I applied my English skills in real-world settings, enhancing my fluency and confidence. I fully immersed myself in American culture by participating in equine classes and volunteering at a daycare center, gaining hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of the local community.

In the summer of 2010, I immersed myself in an intensive French language program in France, spending a month honing my skills while traveling through the South of France. This experience deepened my fluency and cultural understanding, building on my choice of French as my second foreign language.
