SkillsCV (Curriculum Vitae) / Résumé
I have about 3 years of experience in project management in IT/manufacturing industry for customisation projects. In this role, I was a potent project-coordinator. Coping with time pressure and paying attention on details were the daily task that I have been handled well. In addition, people always find that working with me very effective and pleasant.
In my private time, I was responsible for the lessons and care of the children and young people in a private orphanage in Taiwan. Besides taking language courses or doing self-studying in Spanish, French and Teaching Chinese as a Second Language, I love taking challenging activities; I used to encourage friends to participate in the Nike 5K run and the 46-floor Shin Kong Tower Run-up with me and together we had a lot of fun.
