I am a student attending the University of the Pacific. I am double majoring in marketing and human resource. During my spare time when I'm not in school, I love to volunteer and help my community. For example, I've volunteered at the Habitat for Humanity the PLUS Summit. In addition, I have donated books, clothes, and foods to shelters. For all my work and involvement in helping my community, I was one of the 2018 Face of America Contestant. The 2018 Face of America Contest for women who empowered their community as well as themselves to help inspire others. When I'm not in school or helping my community, I am somewhere modeling because I love to take pictures and striking a pose during my free time. I am a model, brand ambassador, and promotional model for Femme Fatale Agency,PUSH Models, TLC Modeling, ModelScouts, Hot Miami Shades, and Teen Hearts Clothing. In addition, I was a 2018 Miss Vietnamese Global Contestant and I am getting prepared for two pageants. First is the 2019 Miss California USA Pageant since I was chosen to be a contestant for the pageant this December! And the other pageant is next year in January 2019 for Miss Vietnam California! A fun fact about me is that I have been published on the Maxim Magazine's website to be the next Maxim Cover Girl!

My dream passion is to be famous model or influencer. Being featured on Maxim Magazine is huge, but what would be more amazing is if I got the chance to on an amazing series like Fashion Hero.

How I can make as difference and change is starting somewhere. I have volunteered and help my community in anyway I can. Even during my free time from school and my modeling career, I would still find time to volunteer. I have volunteer to build houses for unfortunate families. I volunteered for an event that help push the next generation to make college an option for them in the future to become successful. In addition, every week my group and I would always come up with projects that would make our community even better. Being the next fashion hero, I would continue my effort, but would expand further with it. I want to continue what I am doing, but to also promote diversity in the entertainment business/ modeling field. I want everyone from different cultural background to be able to do what they want without being afraid. I want them to realize that they can possibly do anything and are even bigger than the obstacles against them. In addition, I remember being a shy girl when I was younger and I know they are many girls out there that are just like me when I was younger and are too afraid of going after their dream because they were afraid of judgement and harsh criticism in the world just like what I have faced. I want to be able to show them that those things in life are obstacles and experiences that will make you stronger if you use that your advantage. Being on Fashion Hero, I don't want to just to make a movement, but I want to leave an impact anywhere and everywhere I go in life. Change needs to happen, and if you chose me. I will be able to make that happen!
