TAH English “M.S.” is not given a school name. Chinese text places the master’s after the 1981 California move — do not assign it to NTU.

Tyzen Hsiao

tyzen-hsiao]] network already lists Amy Lin as “TAH: same church pianist.” That is all the vault has. Tyzen’s own page still marks named SoCal home pew: not found. Write the church link as TAH’s wording, not as GSTPC, 牧谷, 台福, or FPCLA.
