Raised in beautiful New Zealand, and born in bustling Taiwan, life has been a multi-faceted adventure.
I grew up as a carefree, cheerful child, running barefoot on the fields in New Zealand primary schools, through rain and fog and sun.I struggled through and conquered the crushing academic stress placed upon students in the high schools of Taiwan.
I learnt to have fun, to embrace new things; I learnt to be adaptable, to be resilient; I experienced the nuances of two distinctly different cultures. It has been a fantastic journey.
With a few years of work experience as an engineer focused on power electronics under my belt, I decided to return to study.
And so I embark upon a new chapter of my life, as a graduate student at Stanford University.
May this chapter be as unique as those that have come before.
