My Story.

A first-generation professional born in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, raised in Washington, D.C., and now based in Toronto, Canada. Each new city shaped how I understood people and business, but what’s remained constant is my belief that stories, whether told through language, photography, or strategy, bring people together to create something that lasts.

I’m currently completing my Bachelor of Arts in Digital Enterprise Management Specialist at the University of Toronto, graduating in June 2026. My experience spans fintech, technology, education, health & wellness, and creative media, where I’ve built a foundation in strategic partnerships, client relations, and marketing strategy.

My professional story began in high school, when I launched a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative during COVID-19 at a health and wellness start-up (Tranzfuse LLC), delivering 5,000+ care packages to medical workers in HCA Florida Northwest Hospital.

Most recently, I worked as a Client Relationships Intern at Interac Corp., supporting partnerships across the Canadian payments ecosystem with financial institutions, middleware providers, and acquirers. Beyond fintech, I’ve secured $2,250+ in sponsorships from consumer goods and technology partners to fund large-scale conferences and student-led initiatives. On campus, I’ve served as Co-Chair of the Young Entrepreneur Conference, PR Director of TEDxUofT, and Marketing Director of the DEM Association, leading teams and building partnerships that grew audiences and earned recognition, including ‘Club of the Year’ (2023–2024) and the UTM Leadership Award for Global & Intercultural Engagement through my work with Studio X.

I take pride in mentoring emerging creatives and leading with collaboration and empathy, all values that have guided me since my early education in the U.S., where I was part of the Talented and Gifted Program and received the President’s Award for Academic Excellence from President Barack Obama.

Outside of work, I’m a film photographer, writer, and language learner (currently studying French and Italian), passions that shape how I see people, partnerships, and opportunity. I’m also deeply committed to advocating for women in business and technology, and I’m expanding my knowledge in ESG and governance with a long-term goal of working in client and investor relations.

Above all, I hope my work leaves behind more open doors, more empowered female voices, and more connections that remind us we’re never building alone.
