Kaohsiung City, Taiwan

As the Y2/Y3 MYP Science Teacher at KAS, I designed, planned, and taught curriculum-based sciences that included topics in biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and environmental sciences. As part of the MS Science Department, I assisted other ES, MS, and HS science faculties in designing and aligning educational goals for students of different learning levels in weekly meetings. Being assigned the head of the 2023 Y3 Interdisciplinary Project, I designed a two-week curriculum across the subjects of Physical Education and Language Acquisition in the form of active tourism in local communities. After implementation across the Y3 grade level, I assessed and evaluated the effectiveness of each group's product in promoting healthy lifestyles in localities surrounding the school campus.

Kaohsiung City, Taiwan

As an associate and co-founder of the Future Leaders Program Initiative at Kaohsiung American School, I helped building, structure, and maintain internship and outreach opportunities given to students within the secondary school of a K-12 academic institution. I established vocational networking experiences for students to partake in while developing novel internship progression, reflection, and analysis alongside my colleagues.

Taipei City, Taiwan

As a project manager and research assistant in the Forestry Department of NTU, I dedicated time and effort to researching carbon dioxide emissions and concentrations in the East Asiatic region. Under the supervision of Dr. Chiou Chi-Riong, I undertook comparative studies of regional climate change between major Asiatic cities and progressed my understanding of informative programs and systems. I analysed global temporal data using R, projected graphical data with ArcGIS and Python, and solidified communication channels and international participation with domestic and international schools of higher education.

San Francisco Bay Area

As an assistant curator in the Essig Museum of Entomology, I helped sort samples of recently collected arthropods and small biological specimens into orders and families. I assisted current professors and emeriti in pinning and spreading specimens and running errands connecting the facility to different museums around the campus.

Berkeley, California

As a co-founder of the undergraduate branch of the renowned UC Berkeley Entomology Students Organization, I helped initiate club memberships and outreached into both public and scientific communities while handling administrative duties. I promoted growth and development in both amateurs and professional careers in all fields of entomology.

Berkeley, California

As a student research assistant in the Kremen Lab, I dedicated a specific number of hours per week engaging in taxonomic studies and insect identification. I worked with other graduate and post-doctorate personnel in identifying Hymenopteran, Coleopteran, and Dipteran specimens, classifying them into family, genus, and eventually species.My job required constant knowledge of anatomical vernacular and diction, along with memorization of entomological anatomy. Throughout my five-semester apprenticeship at Kremen Lab, I was able to classify all taxon to family, and most of them down to genus and species. I also had the privilege to hand-pick several specimens for further classification by renowned entomologist experts in New York AMNH and California Academy of Sciences.

Berkeley, California

As a student research assistant, I have dedicated a specific number of hours per week engaging in laboratory experimentation of Drosophila fruit fly pest control in California. I worked with numerous other researchers in breeding a variety of pest species and potential introduced Hymenoptera predators for a bio-control paper and experiment. My first semester apprenticeship under the guidance of several post-doctorates and graduate students have allowed me to gain needed laboratory experience such as chemical mixing, pest identification, and proper microscope usage and maintenance. My second semester apprenticeship included further breeding of Drosophila fruit flies and Hymenoptera wasps, maintenance of fly and wasp colonies, and also running different errands for other post-doctorates.

Kaohsiung, Taiwan

As a teacher assistant in YMCA, I helped set up activities for underprivileged youths. For the three months at YMCA, I organized English lessons for the youths and taught grammar, sentence composition, and daily vocabulary.
