I am Robin Tan from the San Francisco Bay Area Junior Chamber of Commerce. Over the past year, our organization has been dedicated to uniting young professionals, fostering business exchange, and strengthening connections within the local community. Through diverse events and cross-industry collaborations, we nurture the next generation of leaders while promoting innovation, public service, and cultural heritage—building an influential platform for overseas Chinese youth.

I am also one of the co-founders of Zenpack.us, where I currently serve as Chief Strategy Officer (CSO). I have long been engaged in the fields of product packaging and innovation, with a particular focus on strategic planning, industry trend analysis, and driving cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Hello everyone, my name is Shawn Chou. I immigrated to the United States with my family when I was 14 and a half years old. After graduating from high school, I earned my degree from San Jose State University. During college, I worked part-time while attending classes. After graduation, I joined Panda Express, starting as a supervisor and eventually becoming a store manager.

Through my work experience, I discovered that my purpose in life is to help others become better. This inspired me to franchise The Exercise Coach, opening a branch in Mountain View with the goal of helping more people become stronger and healthier.

I joined the Taiwanese Junior Chamber of Commerce in the San Francisco Bay Area to meet more friends and provide a platform for Chinese communities in the U.S. to connect and support one another—whether they are new immigrants or have lived in America for many years—so that we can grow together.

This is my second year with the Taiwanese Junior Chamber of Commerce in the Bay Area. Having visited many Taiwanese community groups across the region, I find our Chamber to be truly unique and full of energy.

I work in education and enjoy seeking inspiration from design, discovering creative ideas, and wandering around to find little surprises in everyday life. Joining the Chamber’s leadership team wasn’t about business opportunities or networking—it was a wonderful coincidence that brought me to a group of incredibly kind, approachable, and down-to-earth friends. Their passion and sincerity embody the spirit of Taiwan and the vitality of youth.

The Chamber brings together young people from Taiwan, uniting us with the shared mission of serving overseas Taiwanese youth. Through this yearbook, I hope you can feel our warmth. If you ever get the chance, we’d love for you to meet us!

I’m Jill Chen, Secretary General of the Chamber, proudly from Kaohsiung—the city once home to the “Love Ferris Wheel.”

I am from Taipei and graduated from National Cheng Kung University with a degree in Life Sciences. In pursuit of my scientific dreams, I moved to the United States to pursue a Ph.D. in Immunology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where I focused on studying the connection between the immune system and disease.

After earning my doctorate, I joined AbbVie, first in Massachusetts and later in California, specializing in drug discovery and translational medicine. My work is dedicated to transforming scientific discoveries into therapies that can change patients’ lives.

Beyond my role as a scientist, I also serve as the Director of Events for the Taiwanese Junior Chamber of Commerce in the Bay Area. I am passionate about creating programs that blend culture and community, helping overseas Taiwanese connect, share stories, and support one another. From Tainan to Cleveland, and from Massachusetts to California, I have sought to bring the warmth, culture, and values of Taiwan into every city I’ve lived in—introducing Taiwan to more people while strengthening our diaspora community and extending our shared bonds and impact.

Hello everyone, my name is Vincent. I immigrated to the United States when I was 16, and I’ve spent nearly half of my life here. Because of this background, I’m equally familiar with both Taiwanese and American cultures.

Professionally, I also have cross-cultural market experience. I previously worked as an Account Manager at the second-largest Boba Tea wholesaler in the U.S. Currently, I serve as a District Manager for PepsiCo’s Bay Area Zone, where I’ve gained deeper insights into local consumer behavior and market demands.

A little over a year ago, I was fortunate to meet friends from the Taiwanese Junior Chamber of Commerce in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their warmth and unique bicultural perspectives left a deep impression on me. If you also enjoy making friends and expanding your network, we’d love for you to get to know us—let’s connect and grow together!

I am a data analyst with dual master’s degrees in Data Science and Statistics, and I currently serve as Treasurer of the San Francisco Junior Chamber of Commerce. I specialize in transforming data into actionable insights to support precise decision-making and optimize resource allocation.

With years of professional and management experience, I have developed a broad strategic mindset and strong cross-disciplinary collaboration skills. I am adept at bridging data and finance to drive sustainable organizational growth.

Outside of work, I enjoy raising chickens and growing fruit trees, finding balance and inspiration through nature. My experience with the Junior Chamber has not only broadened my international perspective but also strengthened my leadership and sense of community responsibility—helping me discover the mutual value of business and public service.

Hi everyone, I’m Jill Tseng. Always passionate about connecting with people, I transitioned from being a flight attendant to becoming a yoga instructor during the pandemic, embarking on a journey of mind-body-spirit exploration and sharing.

After moving to the Bay Area in March 2024, I was fortunate to join the San Francisco Junior Chamber of Commerce, where I met many enthusiastic and energetic friends. This allowed me to become more deeply involved in activities within the local Taiwanese community.

Beyond teaching yoga, I also love planning and organizing a variety of events—from classes and meetups to large community gatherings. Through my skills and passion, I hope to foster meaningful connections, strengthen community bonds, and bring people together.

I believe that when like-minded individuals come together, endless possibilities and beautiful sparks can emerge through both fun and collaboration. I look forward to meeting more friends in the future—to connect, share, and grow together!

I’m Michael, from Taiwan, currently an entrepreneur in the Bay Area focusing on managing restaurant brands and expanding franchises across the U.S. Through my entrepreneurial journey, I’ve deeply realized how crucial networks and resources are for business growth, and the Junior Chamber provides a platform to gain valuable connections, insights, and inspiration.

Since joining the Bay Area Junior Chamber, I’ve met outstanding partners from various industries. Everyone generously shares experiences, exchanges ideas, and encourages one another during events. This positive energy has given me greater confidence in facing challenges and allowed me to build genuine friendships beyond business.

The Junior Chamber is not only a place for business networking but also a community that sparks creativity and facilitates collaboration. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a professional manager, or someone seeking new opportunities, you can find resources for growth and potential partnerships here. I look forward to connecting with more partners in the future to link the Bay Area, Taiwan, and international markets, creating even greater impact.
