I grew up by the ocean in Hualien, Taiwan. In high school, I was on my way to become a humanity major. However, after jetting across the Pacific Ocean to attend college at the University of Washington, I was quickly drawn to science and programming. The moment I found the field of oceanography, I knew this was what I wanted my career to be in. My master's thesis project was on hydrothermal vent microbes. In the future, I hope to learn as many different elements of oceanography as I can and keep going to sea.
