January 25, 2022 A Shift in the Tides Two years ago, if you asked me where I would have seen myself in 2022, I don’t know what I would have said. I probably would have laughed a little, joked about owning some business, and said that I definitely wouldn’t be working as much as I was at the time.

March 6, 2019 Taking on Taiwan: To All I Leave Behind Well, we’ve made it to the end of the blog series! As you read this, I will be home in Chicago, being greeted by my family at Chicago O’Hare International Airport. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to head home, begin anew, and start the next chapter of my life. But I’d also be lying if I told you that I wasn’t upset about leaving behind Taiwan, a place I call home.
