TEACH TO LEARNAfter graduation, I challenged myself traveling to Egypt to teach English for children as a volunteer. Surprisingly, I got recruited and paid after the first month. This trip really broadened new horizons for me. I realized that despite nationalities and races, everybody was the same and the difference among others was endeavor. Turning difficulties into opportunities and enjoying life that is the way I choose to live boldly and become the leader of myself before leading others.

I designed this postcard and used as my gift from Egypt for my family and friends.

RECOMMENDATIONSRajnish SharmaFormer General Secretary, Indian Business Chamber in Vietnam“I voluntary served as General Secretary of Indian Chamber of Commerce (INCHAM) in Hanoi, Vietnam and hired Yen for the office of this organization. Being a not-for-profit organization it is very critical for this office to employ a person like Yen who is not only exceptionally good in engagement with all board members but at the same time very organized and importantly self starter. I can easily attest to these important qualities of Yen for organizing the events during her tenure with INCHAM. She won confidence of other board members with her ability to maintain ledger and negotiations with suppliers for better preparations of events. Her ability to communicate in English is another asset helped us to work remotely and eventually saved a lot of time for event preparations.”

James WhiteDirector, Center for Business Analytics and Health Informatics at Keuka College“During the 2015-2016 academic year Yen was a student in the Masters of Management courses I taught at Keuka College. She was consistently at the top of her class and displayed a curiosity for learning that was exemplary. In addition to her high quality of academic work, she was able to work effectively with others, as a team member or as the leader. I would highly recommend Yen for your organization!”

Garrett DouglasVP Business Development & Strategic Initiatives at Global Interconnect, Inc.“Yen is an extremely bright and talented young lady with an excellent work ethic. She is a "doer" who brings great joy and enthusiasm everywhere she goes. I would highly recommend her as an outstanding addition to any team!”
