Before joining Taoglas what other roles did you hold?
After graduation, I was a SWRD Engineer for a short time. I found I was more interested in interacting with people and working with the team to achieve goals together, rather than facing the computer for most of the time. Since then, I have been working in project management. Even though the products and services are different, I am very confident in the direction of my career.

What advice do you have for people just starting out in their career in your field?
I always feel that within PM (Project Management), the P is not just for the word “project”. For a perfect project we also need to know the process, know the procedure, and know the product from the beginning to production. Knowing these three things helps communication within the team. The most important part “P” is people. Project management should be focused on teamwork, and when we have basic logic, we can communicate with team members and lead the team to achieve the same goal.
What motivates you at work?
There are always interesting things to motivate us and learn. As one of the top companies in the industry, we need to know the latest technology and industry trends. The company holds lots of internal activities which enables us to exchange experiences and knowledge across different departments. All these things motivate me at work.
