MIRO Staff
Kelly Jung-ts Lin, Ph.D.
Institutional Research Analyst
Kelly joined MIRO in June 2014. She consolidates and standardizes data across different databases, conducts qualitative and quantitative data analyses, collaborates with colleagues to develop homegrown data tools, provides data training to administrators, provides virtual symposiums to both campus and off-campus people, and answers internal and external university surveys. She received her M.A. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages at National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan, and earned her Ph.D. in Second Language Studies at UHM. Before joining the MIRO team, she never thought of working with data, instead of people. But now, she believes that data is a tool, and communicating with people is key to making data meaningful. She enjoys taking a walk and playing ukulele in her leisure.
