About Me

Process engineer at a petrochemical plant in South Korea currently.

Before moving, i was in the US finishing up my undergrad in Texas. I was also on a study abroad for a semester in TAMU Qatar. Got to experience the Middle Eastern culture and live in the beautiful capital city of Qatar, Doha. During my studies iI had the chance to participate in a summer research internship in India. Working on the weekdays and traveling around India during the weekends.

Interests

FOOD: I can talk on and on about food all over the world. Although I'm not much of a cook, I have so much passion for culinary and I will try literally anything edible. I've already tried many exotic foods and willing to try more!

Dance: I used to be in a small professional ballet company in Italy and Taiwan. I did Drill Team in High school and used to compete through my high school team. Now I just watch people dance and try to be as active as I can lol but still in love with dancing!

Art: Took personal lessons throughout middle school and high school years in Taiwan, Korea, Italy, and the US. My favorite mediums are oil paint, pencil, and water color. I still paint and sketch once in a while when I'm not struggling in college lol it also helps me relieve my stress from all the engineering stuff. I love going to art galleries and also learning about art history. One of the best things about traveling is that I get to see and appreciate the variety of art in different cultures and time periods.

Books: I love dystopian and post apocalyptic books like 1984, Animal Farm, The Road, Brave New World, etc. Also like reading Sci-Fi and some Welcome-to-Reality/personal development books LOL its kind of weird, I know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I went camping and hiking in Oman, I got to sleep with the hyenas. LOL not really, but close enough.
I was sleeping in my tent and in the middle of the night I woke up to a pack of unidentifiable animals cackling and walking about 2 meters away from my tent. I was scared so I just forced myself to continue sleeping. I asked the locals what they were in the morning and they told me they were hyenas.
