My name is Binh. I’m a first-generation college student who grew up in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, and graduated from Maynard Evans High School in Orlando, Florida—one of the state’s high-risk schools at the time, before it went through major changes. After high school, I enlisted in the United States military, where I gained discipline, resilience, and a strong sense of structure. Eventually, I made the decision to pivot into an entirely new path—one rooted in creativity, storytelling, and design. I didn’t come from a traditional college background, and instead of transferring from a community college, I started from scratch in a completely different industry. That journey pushed me to build everything from the ground up, to adapt, overcome self-doubt, and commit fully to learning and growth. It's also what fuels my passion for helping other students build confidence through creative media.
