As a half Taiwanese and half Italian, who grew up in South Korea, my passion and love for Asia has always retained a special place in my heart. From family, to friends,  to food, so much connects me to this continent.

that these regions possess. I would to continue fostering this close connection by being a part of the Asia club, where I can exchange ideas and perspectives with others. As Vice President of Asia Club and Project Lead of the upcoming Asia Days, I hope to create a welcoming space for people to explore the richness in diversity that Asia has to offer.
