I am a graduate of Benson Polytechnic High School along with the Class of 2005. I am currently a Senior undergraduate student at Portland State University (PSU), majoring in Organismal Biology and minoring in Chemistry and Spanish. I am also the current coordinator for the Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) at PSU. As representative for our organization, I encourage everyone to learn about different cultures and heritages to preserve human diversity that brings out the uniqueness in each individual.
In the Fall of 2006, I had the privilege of traveling overseas to Barcelona, Spain where I resided there for one academic year to pursue my study in Spanish culture and language.
I am an advocate for students of minority background and underprivileged students, being one myself. I support sustainability and recycling programs and I prefer planting trees over cutting trees. I am very interested in reading about alternative energy research and stem cell research.
