About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be a good person and maximize my potential

ABOUT ME

I was born in Burma, grew up in Taiwan and finished my high school and college degrees in the US. I went to medical school in Poznan, Poland and had moved back to Taiwan. I guess that makes me a real "world citizen" Also, I like to learn new languages even though I hardly ever master any of them...I've learned Spanish for 2 yrs, Japanese for 1 yr, Cantonese for 1 yr, Polish for 1 yr. I love traveling, it gives me an opportunity to relax and see the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"There is no one i don't love; there is no one i don't trust; there is no one i cannot forgive." -Master Cheng Yen
