Meet the sTAFf

Liz Wang
Curious Program Director
Liz works with non-profit organizations at a fundraising company called OneCause. She's 22 going on 23, which is a prime number and she likes prime numbers. She also rides her bike a whole lot, plays in heavy rain, belays little kiddies up 60 foot walls, and bakes cookies and cupcakes. She's been to TAF a whole lotta years and loves being curious.






Cindy Lee
Curious Program Director
Cindy currently lives in California and it is her fourth year as a TAF Juniors Counselor, and her second year as PD. She is excited about the program, and the many learning opportunities that the Juniors and Staff will be able to share throughout the week. There is also a rumor that Cindy has the most widespread pokémon collection known to mankind, but that is still unproven. Although she will not bring out her fantastic pokemon skills at camp, she welcomes anyone who would like to challenge her, just e-mail her! When she's not letting her brain rot while playing video games, she also strongly advocates eating vegetables so that your insides don't rot! In her spare time, Cindy loves to read (Twilight!), play video games (Nintendo Wii!), chat online (with campers), and travel long distances to be part of the Taiwanese American Foundation! Juniors Rule!



Gill Chieu,
Staff Extraordinaire
Gill is currently working and living in Chambana, IL. Most campers refer to him as Mr. Fish since his name is Gill, just like the gills on a fish. He has came to TAF for many years, but took a break for a year or two. He is excited in making his come back year in the Juniors Program. Back at home, for the past 5 years during the school year, he has been working at Champaign Early Childhood Center (public preK program for at risk families.) During the summers he helps out with his church's summer school program (a 5 week program, teaching preK as well.)

Eryn Hong,
Staff Extraordinaire
Eryn is from Farmington Hills, MI. She will be a freshman at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor in the fall, hopefully studying political science and Chinese. It is her sixth year at TAF, and since she had such an awesome first year as a Juniors Counselor in 2007, she just had to come back! In her spare time, she enjoys playing piano, singing, playing with her adorable Pomeranian, going out with friends, or teaching people how to do a Rubik's cube.

Mark Chen,
Staff Extraordinaire
Mark Chen is going to be a sophomore at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, he's studying accounting and hopes to stick with it for awhile. This will be his first year at TAF and looks forward to teaching chinese yoyo. In my freetime (if we get any) he'll probably be raving, listening to techno, or flossing. One day he'll do all three at the same time.
