I spent six years in the U.S. Air Force as a Cryptologic Linguist in Honolulu, Hawaii. During this time, I worked not only as a linguist, but also a mission manager and language training coordinator, and I have ample experience with team coordination and the data collection process. I ensured daily operations went smoothly and really enjoyed collaborating with other departments on managing and reaching objectives. I am a certified a Microsoft Office 2013 specialist and have robust writing and communication skills from my briefing and report writing experience while in the military. After separating from the military in 2014, I moved to Taipei, Taiwan, to pursue a Master’s Degree in international relations and communications. I worked as a translator, reporter, and English teacher, where I researched, wrote, and translated for a variety of clients. I worked closely with NPOs in Taiwan in researching human trafficking and crafted my thesis surrounding the marginalization of migrant workers in Taiwanese society. I learned creative troubleshooting techniques for multi-faceted issues and how to work under pressure in both my time in the U.S. Air Force and in Taiwan
