Charles Pan spent most of his childhood in Kentucky before going to Philadelphia to attend Penn. After graduation, he moved to Austin, Texas before moving to New York. He's been actively involved in the Taiwanese American community, including participation in the Formosa Foundation's Ambassador Program, Penn Taiwanese Society, and the Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Students Association (ITASA). He also currently serves on the Board of Directors of ITASA. Charles hopes to help broaden TAP's engagement with its membership and bridge ever more Taiwanese American connections.
