🌐

Trilingual

English, Mandarin, and Vietnamese — I negotiate directly with factory owners in their language, with no interpreter markup or lost nuance.

📍

Permanently Based in Taiwan

APRC holder. This is my home — I can be at a factory this week, not next quarter.

💼

Fortune 500 Account Management

Former account manager with a Fortune 500 company — I understand how large buyers think, what they need documented, and how to manage supplier relationships professionally.

🎓

Business Degree & Education Background

Business degree combined with hands-on ESL education experience — I speak both the commercial and the product language of children's learning materials.

🔬

Research-Minded Approach

BS in Environmental Science — supplier evaluation backed by evidence, documentation, and structured audits. Not gut instinct.

Speciality

Educational toys & children's products.

Taiwan has a world-class cluster of educational toy manufacturers. I know exactly who to talk to.
