Extracurricular Activities
I take initiatives and ownership of different work of interests. Back in Vietnam, I used to lead different teams and projects at a non-profit organization to create educational opportunities for hundreds of disadvantaged children.
Sugar Vietnam (NPO)
Executive Board Member
2017-2018
A nonprofit organization aiming to help disadvantaged children from several orphanages integrate into the community and to help student participants understand the value of volunteering.
I acted as a board member to oversee 7 annual projects, manage external relationships with domestic/international partners and sponsors, seek funding as well as maintain financial records of the organization.
Sugar Championship project
Co-founder & Mentor

In 2019, I and my friend founded a project to host a soccer competition among local orphans and students and to attract scholarship funds for disadvantaged children. We successfully led a team of 10 to launch the project in Ho Chi Minh city.
In 2021, we continued with the second season. I advised and drove work alignment within a team of 20 to raise the scholarship fund and organize fundraising activities of $10,000 that created educational opportunities for ~70 disadvantaged children in 2021-2022 academic year.
More About Me
Friends is a part of my life. I started watching Friends at 16 when I wanted to improve English. Now they all have become my “friends”.
I’m a Swiftie! Speak Now is my favorite album. I missed the chance to the Eras Tour, but I do stream the tour every day now.
If I were not in data analytics, I think another wild path I would pursue is being a painter! This painting is from one of the many times I seek creativity and ideation from art.
