Christine Ho

Hi, I’m Yen-Hsin Ho, and everyone calls me Christine. I am a volunteer of the career team and a member of the career insight group. I am responsible for interviewing the stories of entrepreneurs around me. The interview content will also be published on the Taiwan Next volunteer website.

I immigrated to the United States around five and half years ago. I still remember that when I first started living in the United States, I felt very hard because I came here alone to work and had no friends around me. I also remember that there were several times when I almost gave up and wanted to go back to Taiwan because I couldn’t find a job or a house. Later, around two years ago, I followed Katie’s fan page through Facebook and got to know the Taiwan Next organization. For me, it was such a blessing because I was able to meet a group of Taiwanese people in a foreign country, and they were willing to help me find a job and a house.

Last September, I also attended the Taiwan Tech Summit. After the event, I decided to stay and become a volunteer for Taiwan Next. I knew how difficult it was for Taiwanese immigrants to come to the United States, so I wanted to contribute more to Taiwanese organizations.

I have extensive work experience in the retail industry in the United States, including supermarkets, retail stores, clothing stores, and boba tea shops, etc. My current job is an office assistant in a leasing office, mainly responsible for accounting and cashier work. At the same time, I am also taking courses at Community College, hoping to obtain accounting-related certificates in the future.
