As a second-generation Vietnamese American and first-generation college graduate, my personal story fuels my commitment to equity, cultural awareness, and inclusive practices. I’m a dedicated higher education professional with over a decade of experience in student affairs, specializing in leadership development, retention, and fostering belonging for historically underserved student populations. I currently serve as the Associate Director in the Office of Student Engagement and Belonging at Wichita State University, where I lead efforts in assessment, student programming, and staff supervision. I’m passionate about creating meaningful, identity-affirming experiences for students, especially those navigating systems not originally designed for them.

Outside of work, I enjoy riding my bike, cooking tasty foods, and searching for great craft beer.
