About me

As a first-generation Asian American whose parents fled war-torn Vietnam, I learned early that resilience and adaptability are key to success.

Like many children of immigrants, I navigated between Eastern cultural values at home and Western education, eventually finding my path to UC San Diego.

Through my own journey of transitioning from pre-med to software engineering, I discovered that success isn't just about academic achievement—it's about understanding your unique story and leveraging it to create opportunities.

Today, I combine my lived experiences with Stanford-trained behavioral design skills to help students like you navigate college admissions and career transitions.

Whether you're crafting college essays, planning your academic path, or breaking into the professional world, I understand the unique challenges faced by AAPI and first-generation students.

Together, we'll transform your experiences into compelling narratives and develop strategies that honor both your cultural heritage and professional aspirations.
