About Me

I am a junior concentrating in Development Studies & Education Studies at Brown University. I have lived in Vietnam, India and now the United States. I speak 4 different languages. For the first 10 years of my life, I thought I would grow up being a violinist (like my father and grandfather). At Brown, I'm doing a research with Professor Jin Li from Education Department on Child Development: looking at the difference in learning styles and socialization process between children of Chinese Immigrants and European American parents. I volunteer for different elementary schools in Providence and believe that American education could improve much more from its current stand. I hope to be able to come back to Vietnam eventually and work with children and for children

My TED Story

I was first exposed to Ted by a very good friend, Hand Nguyen - Standford '13 who I can see to be a promising social entrepreneur and a very inspiring person herself. Ever since then, I have constantly tried to watch as many Ted Talks as I can. I'm incredibly inspired by some of the ideas and determined to share them with others.
