Having a global vision is one of my niches. Studying in Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University, I am taking a concentration on the international law and organizations. Last semester, I took a class, reinventing the United Nations, with Professor George Moose. In this class, I learned a lot about the Millennium Development Goals and the United Nations reform. I also joined the global issues seminar series provided by World Bank. The seminars consist of weekly meeting from October through March. These experiences deepened my interests in human rights law and lobbying. One of my favorite courses is political analysis. Ambassador Shinn taught us how to analyze the situation in Sudan, from which I learned more about Africa and the complexity there.

Another niche lies in my independence; I have never been afraid of being adventurous. I travel a lot; I don’t travel with a group, and most of the times I travel alone, which allows me to see the world the way it is and allows me to go to places where there are not many tourists. Besides Mandarin as my mother tongue, I speak fluently French and English. I have also learned German for two years. I have a global orientation, traveling to more than seventeen countries. Moreover, I also have lived in France, England, USA and Taiwan. I am from Taiwan. I have lived in France for more two years. When I was in high school, I spent one year in the province of France. I spent my senior year in Paris, studying International Law and Organizations. As a result of traveling intensively and speaking several languages, it’s easier for me to get used to a new culture.

Before coming to the USA for master degree, I had been doing some volunteer works and I worked for the Congress of Taiwan, Legislative Yuan, for fours months and a half. Volunteering in a non-profit organization and Centre for the Third Sector, I learned a lot about the third sector and about humanitarian assistance. I mention this is not to say that I want to change the whole situation in Africa. Africa is a land I have never been to but this continent interests me a lot. I want to know in order to do something to change the situation. I want to see how the life and the continent are exactly. I have no experience of journalism, but I would be very happy to learn how to perceive the world by some means other than international theories. At the same time, I can offer a different point of view as an international politics student, as a Taiwanese and as a new comer to Africa.
