UMBC Student Event Board - Committee Member 2012-2013

• Assisted the Executive Board members with planning on-campus events and activities including Homecoming and QuadMania, the annual spring festival

• Volunteered at on-campus (seb) events, supporting both set-up and cleanup activities

​

When I first started to work with the student event board, my goal was to gain leadership from it. Once I was actively working as an committee member, I got to present my ideas and to make it happen. What I learn from this experience was that there were a lot of backstage planning involved. Budget, timing, place of the events, crew members...etc were all important factors to consider, but making a event came true and saw how many people enjoying it made me feel like I did something special for them.
 

Taipei Medical University - Speech Coordinator 2013-2014

• Finalized team logistics and divided 40 group members into four different teams- activity team, public relations, equipment team, and documentary team

• Served as a liaison and point of contact between the speaker and the public relations teams

• Helped supplement materials and topics needed for the keynote speaker

• Maintained individual team progress

​

The reason why I became the speech coordinator was that no one in the group wanting to set up, and I feel that there is a need for someone to take initiatives. Later on I enjoyed talking to the speaker and got the information needed for the teams to work on their parts. Because of this experience, I learned that solving conflicts between people and yet still need to maintain progress were hard. I had to appreciate those people because they made me grew to the person who I am now.
