Shelley Tai
Hello, my name is Shelley. This is my second year as the EMI program coordinator. I enjoy eating and trying different foods. I studied sports and leisure management at school, but the only sport I enjoy is pillow mountain climbing (which means napping). Even though I've been in Taoyuan for about 5 years, I believe I'm as unfamiliar with it as you are, so please don't ask me what's enjoyable in Taoyuan since I don't know about any activities around the area lol.
