Who are you?

I’m Kai and I’m an almost 22 year old Taiwanese American going into my last year in college.

Where are you from?

I’m from San Jose, but where I’m from from? I’m from Taiwan. I moved to the Bay Area when I was 7 years old.

What do you do?

I do quite a lot. As I mentioned, I’m still a student, but it goes beyond that. I’m also the president of a social org. I’m on a K-Pop dance team. I’m marketing director of a campus magazine. I’m also an intern for the summer, so there’s that.

What are you passionate about?

Lots of things! But something that’s been important to me this past year has been identity. In my case, what does it mean for me to be a gay Taiwanese American? I’d like to think that I have a lot of that figured out, but there’s still a whole lot more that I have yet to discover. It’s kind of cheesy to say, but if I know myself, then I am able to be the best me to others.



What is your dream job (real or fantasy)?

The dream job is to be a high level marketing director something or other that gets a lot of chance to travel. At this age, it’s difficult to find someone who doesn’t like to travel? I know some people might not like marketing all that much, seeing it as manipulation or something like that. Though that’s sometimes the case, think about all the good that can happen to the world if we could help someone think about topics such as sustainability.

If you could change the world with one idea, what would it be?

It’d be nice if there were no weapons of mass destruction. It’s terrifying to think that an entire city, or even small countries, could be wiped out with the push of a button. No thanks.
