「今天是我以美國在台協會處長的身分第一天進辦公室工作。
我初次來到台灣是1992年，當時我是AIT最年輕、最資淺的外交官。從來沒想過，有一天我會擔任AIT處長，對我來說，真是職涯上的美夢成真。
我的外交官之旅，就是從台灣開始，在整個職涯中，我親眼見證美台關係的蓬勃發展。能回到台灣帶領AIT，與台灣朋友合作，共同深化並拓展美台關係，是我的榮幸。我很期待未來能與各位互動。」
— 美國在台協會處長孫曉雅
“Today is my first day at work as the AIT Director. When I first came to Taiwan in 1992, I was the most junior American official working at AIT. I never imagined I would one day be the AIT Director. The assignment is a professional dream come true. My diplomatic journey began here in Taiwan and I have seen, with my own eyes and throughout my career, the development of the U.S.-Taiwan partnership. It is an honor to return and lead AIT as we work together with our friends in Taiwan to deepen and expand the U.S.-Taiwan relationship. I look forward to meeting you in the future!” — AIT Director Oudkirk
