I hold a Bachelor of Commerce (Hons.) from the University of British Columbia, majoring in Finance. Currently, Iām pursuing a career in Marketing with a focus on CRM Marketing/ Marketing Automation. During my undergraduate studies, I had internship experiences in Capital Markets, Corporate Development & Strategy and Product Management (I wrote about my experience switching career paths in my final years of university here). My diverse background has helped me develop an interest in influencing decision-making through leveraging data and creativity to drive personalized journeys and enrich the user experience.
I was born and raised in the coastal city of Haiphong, Vietnam, and came to Canada to pursue education at the age of 15. I grew up speaking Vietnamese, learned French through French immersion education at school (Grade 1-10), and self-taught English with the help of Disney Channel when I was in grade 6. This multicultural & multilingual journey continues to inspire how I approach creativity, communication, and collaboration in everything I do.
As a trained pianist, I have practiced and performed piano for over 20 years. This makes music my life-long passion and a constant source of inspiration and creativity in my life. In my free time, I love reading (I have documented a list of recommended reads here), streaming sitcoms and cartoons, singing, dancing, travelling (been to 17 countries and counting) and staying active with HIIT workouts. Iām also passionate about exploring new technologies, trying out fresh ideas, and expressing creativity through photography (find me on VSCO) ā often with friends, good food, and great conversations along the way.
