Background

My journey in the field of nonprofit management began in the early 2000s when I was an undergraduate majoring in cooperative economics in Taiwan. After earning a master’s degree in economic development and serving one year of mandatory military service, my first full-time job was at a technology company. However, spending a couple of years in the technology industry made me realize I needed a career change to pursue my passion: nonprofit finance. In 2014, I joined Arizona State University and returned my focus to nonprofit management. ASU afforded me a great opportunity to develop my research and teaching skills. I am excited to join the University of Hawaiʻi. I aspire to become a thought leader in the field of nonprofit and public management and to work closely with future leaders in these fields, in Hawaiʻi, the mainland, and the Asia-Pacific region.
