One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During the summer of 2012, I volunteered to teach the art class for first to sixth grade students at Quinghai. This marvelous trip changed my perspectives toward life. At the summer of 2013, I successfully applied for the three-month working holiday at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa in Denver, the United States of America. It is a whole English-speaking environment for both of my daily life and job. Therefore, during this period of time, I not only practiced my English skills but also introduce my hometown, Taiwan, to my new foreign friends. Moreover, I learn that we should be courteous and patient when we serve the customer, and the customer care is the priority from this working holiday experience. This experience is the most remarkable and spectacular among all of my working experiences. During the summer of 2014, I applied for the internship at Zhejaing Phoenix Village Textile CO., LTD hoping to bring what I have learn practice use. During this internship, I discovered how a textile company of China operates; moreover, I learn that there are lots of professional techniques and experience needed for this field of job. Only with this internship, I found my weakness, and I gained this splendid and meaningful experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am really interested in old film camera and photography, so I would like take some picture of the friends I meet during the trip. I also want to share some basic knowledge of film camera. Also, I am major in Textile design so I would love to share my weaving skills. By the way, I am a native Chinese speaker, any language is very welcome to me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my home food from Taiwan which is super delicious! Also I would love to share some chores or basic cleaning and shopping!
