Tell us a little about yourself?
I’m a third-year student at Carleton College studying psychology, with a strong interest in mental health and clinical work. Growing up in a Vietnamese community, I became aware early on of how language, culture, and access can impact confidence and mental health, and that continues to guide what I want to study and do.
What is your dream job? What kind of impact do you hope to make?
My dream job is to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and eventually open my own private practice. I want to work with individuals who are struggling with mental health challenges, especially those from low-income or underserved communities.
Who is your favorite public servant and why?
Anthony Fauci because he helped pioneer treatment and vaccine for AIDS.
