Hi! I’m Sylvia, an MPA student at UW with an international background. I’m interested in social equity and education policy, and I enjoy combining analysis with communication—writing, visuals, and policy explainers. Happy to connect if you’d like to talk about navigating the program and building your own path here.
Hi there! I’m Peter Nguyen, and I’m thrilled to be a second-year Master of Public Administration student at the Evans School. I grew up in White Center, Seattle, and while I’ve loved living here, I’ve also enjoyed my time in San Francisco and Washington, D.C. These experiences, combined with my background as a Vietnamese American and a first-generation college student, have fueled my passion for public service and policy work. As the child of Vietnamese refugees, I am deeply motivated to contribute to my community and make a difference through policy advocacy!
