ACADEMICS

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

August 2018 - May 2023

HARVARD UNIVERSITY

I am a Harvard College student concentrating in Economic,with a Secondary in Environmental Science and Public Policy. I am especially interested in understanding the causes and consequences of inequality, both from an anthropological and sustainability standpoint. 


I have a soft spot for using analytical and empirical methods to address complex and foreign problems. As an economist, I am trained to think in logical framework, create hypothesis, and come up with impact-driven results. I love challenges that require creative thinking, perhaps it is a consequence of a liberal arts education that aims to cultivate potential and a deep understanding of the world. 

September 2020 - June 2021

NATIONAL TAIWAN UNIVERSITY

I am a visiting student at National Taiwan University for the unconventional years of 2020 and 2021. Enrolled under the Social Science Department, I am pursuing pre-professional coursework in the Management School, Economics, and Finance departments. 

​

As a way to stretch my ability, I've taken advanced game theory course, graduate level course on autonomous vehicle theory, financial market and derivatives, and accounting. To push the envelop further, I plan to tackle courses such as global merger and acquisition, investment theory, and corporation management strategy. While supplementing professional knowledge is important, I still take the time out to study modern Taiwanese literature and post-war politics of Taiwan in the 20th century. 

August 2014 - May 2018

TAIPEI AMERICAN SCHOOL

I graduated from Taipei American School in the class of 2018.  As a motivated student, I had excellent academic records, graduating with top GPA, 12 AP courses, 1 IBHL course, and an AP Capstone Diploma. I also graduated with the school's Academic Distinction Award, given to students with consecutive semesters of 4.0 GPA, and an AP Scholar with Distinction award.

​

Academics aside, I was also an active member of the school community. I was the captain of the school's tennis varsity team and received 2 Coach's Choice awards from the athletic departments. I was also a 2-years English tutor volunteer at the Taipei Municipal Blind School, the president of Recyclable Percussion Club, and a member of the Honor Committee.
