One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experienced one of the Taiwan's most turbulent typhoons within the past 40 years. There's nothing that makes you feel more unified with a foreign environment than prepping for a natural disaster with a group of other foreigners.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a constant observer of people's thought processes and actions. I love engaging in conversations about why people think they way they do. As I am constantly learning about myself, I hope to cultivate an environment of continued self-exploration through discussion. I enjoy sharing life lessons that I've learned and enjoy hearing more about others' life experiences.
