6. Autobiography
My name is Ye Chen, Gan (Eric). I'm a Malaysian who lived in Taiwan currently.
There are 6 people in my family: my parents worked as education worker in
hometown, and my other 3 brothers work and live in New Zealand, Malaysia and
Singapore individually. Because of studying in Taiwan since 2004 and take part in
several different extracurricular activities since I was young, I developed an
independent and outgoing personality.
In college period, I was not only focused in my study of biomedical science and
environment science, I joined the Laboratory of Evolutionary Ecology of Molluscs, so I
had the chance to go around the Taiwan for field trip of environmental, coastal and
river researches and conferences, even be several time of local guide for oversea
academics and attended a environmental conference in USA. With the experience in
leading a boy scout team, president of soccer team and training in the lab, I handled
many education programs organizing easily and enjoy working with different
organization, including NGOs and government agencies, and also I took part in many
investigation projects under my professor’s supervise. So, I started to work and learn
under pressure and independently in university.
I moved forward not only as a undergraduate major in science, had my field
sampling throughout the Peninsular Malaysia, I also began to take charge in more
research and investigation projects when I was undergraduate. Those leadership,
program management trainings and academic experiences become my advantaged
when I worked as investigator and research assistant. In addition, because of this
position and my personal interest, I not only worked as a partnership with local NGOs,
but also joined them as volunteer and adjunct environmental education personnel in
many activities sometimes. All these experience make me have the ability of good
leadership and interpersonal skill.
I like to "Think Globally, Act Locally" and a life’s time is not too long to be wasted.
I enjoy keep learning new knowledge about the society, environment and new technic,
and I also love to work with different people from different specialized field. That is
why I want to stay connecting to the world with reading and travelling. With my family
background, interests, educations, and experience, I am outgoing, easy to get along
with, and very active. So, it is so prefect that I can find a career that I have a passion
for is all about obtaining fulfillment. The ideal scenario is one where I find a career
that combines what I love to do with I is great at doing.
