During my free time, I enjoy reading leisurely, particularly non-fiction books. I aim to read at least one book per month.
Canberra is a wonderful city for running, so I run 4-5 times per week, including a long run every weekend. My Strava page is here.
I was born in Hanoi, Vietnam. I finished high school there before coming to the US for a Bachelor’s and Ph.D. degree. Being an amateur pianist. I love playing songs about my hometown and Vietnam. Below is a video in which I played one of the most well-known songs about Hanoi (Nhớ mùa Thu Hà Nội – Missing Hanoi’s autumn, composed by Trinh Cong Son).
I have been involved with VietAbroader since I was a freshman in college. I was a Co-President of VietAbroader in 2014-2015 with Anh-Thu Pham, and have been serving on the Board of Directors since 2016. VietAbroader was founded in 2004 with the first mission of helping Vietnamese students to apply and study in US colleges. The mission then was changed to “empower Vietnamese youth,” so we have been developing many new programs to enhance skills and awareness for students in Vietnam. More information about VietAbroader can be founded on Facebook.
