About Me

Hi, I’m James! I’ve been teaching life science and technology at a junior high school in Yilan for eight years now. Prior to that, I was working as a quality control engineer and then a product manager in an IT company. Over the years, I’ve worked with my students on all kinds of creative projects—like making thumb pianos, geometric night lights, pinball machines, and more. Sharing the joy of crafting and creativity is something I genuinely love. Outside of teaching, I volunteer as a tour guide at the Yilan Museum of Art. If you’re curious about visiting the museum or want to learn about local artists, I’d be happy to show you around and explain the exhibits.

As for Yilan—it’s such a special place! With mountains on one side and the sea on the other, the city offers beautiful ocean views and unique trails that are perfect for exploring. I hope to meet you in Yilan and share everything this wonderful place has to offer!
