I joined the ETA Program as a coordinator in 2019; in this position, I arrange general affairs and help ETAs adapt to Taichung's daily and school life. I studied education at National Chengchi University in Taipei. I am pleased to be one of the program members contributing to Taiwan's English education.

There are a variety of sceneries in Taichung. Not only the crowded night markets, shopping areas, and stylish museums, but also the country roads surrounded by rice fields, a beach, and even mountains above 3,800 meters! By the way, foodies will be happy to visit here!
