My Journey
Get to Know Shannon
Growing up, I developed a deep passion for sports from watching baseball games and eventually falling in love with tennis at the age of 12, initially as a means to connect with my grandparents. My formal journey into the world of sports began with my enrollment in the Kinesiology program at National Tsing Hua University, the first established sports science department in Taiwan. I also pursued interdisciplinary studies in business to broaden my knowledge base. To confirm my genuine interest in and desire to enter the sports marketing industry, I volunteered to assist in organizing sports events at school, served as a team manager for the handball team, and embarked on a path as a sports journalist for the Chinese Taipei University Sports Association. In the challenging environment of student sports in Taiwan, I was consistently moved by the selfless dedication and spirit displayed by student-athletes on the field, reinforcing my determination to learn and contribute more in this seemingly magical industry of sports✨.
