Emily started her career after receiving her bachelor's degree in Business Management from Pennsylvania State University. She returned to Taiwan and became the secretary to the Managing Director of Ogilvy & Mather Group. Just like her fellow peers, Emily perused to excel and had the opportunity to work at different jobs in her 20s. However, deep down at heart, Emily knew that the path everyone would choose, it’s not what she wanted. Though Emily did not have a related background in terms of International Development or Emergency Relief besides her volunteer experiences back in school days and church, Emily longed to be part of the field and witness the changes with her own eyes. Thus, Emily decided to take a year's leave from work and took part in Taiwan International Development and Fund’s Oversea Volunteer Program. During 2013-2014, Emily served in one of the primary schools as an English teacher in Tuvalu, South Pacific. Since then Emily had worked for different non-profit organizations based in Taiwan, wanting to fulfill her callings and made a difference in society.
