Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam ·
I am the proud daughter of Vietnamese refugees who migrated to America with little more than hope and determination to rebuild their lives. From a young age, I witnessed my parents work tirelessly without complaint. The sacrifices they made taught me that a job is not just a means to earn a living, but a responsibility to honor the opportunities created by those who came before me. Carrying my family's history with me, I work hard to support my family while honoring their journey. Through my parents, I was inspired to choose a career that has allowed me to help others and live out the values they have taught me. I lived in California my whole life, where my academic studies and training in psychology and social work have equipped me with the essential skills and education needed to effectively support clients in the field of mental health. I visited Vietnam with my little family and fell in love with the culture and the people. Learning that there is a deficit of mental health providers in Vietnam, I made the decision to return to my place of birth and start a new chapter here. I am very much looking forward to reconnecting with my heritage and the beautiful people here in Vietnam.
