Experiences

Global Competency

Study away in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates:

During my study abroad experience in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a different culture and academic environment. I took a variety of courses at NYU Abu Dhabi, engaged in cultural activities, and explored the region. This experience allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the local culture, history, and global perspectives. By becoming a global citizen through this experience, I am better equipped to contribute positively to a diverse and interconnected world. It reinforces my mission to be an open-minded, empathetic, and adaptable individual who seeks to make a difference in both my personal and professional life, while valuing and respecting the richness of global diversity.

Internship in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

During my internship at Baker Hughes, my primary area of focus was on advancing the technology of subsea xmas trees. This endeavor harmonizes with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #9, which aims to establish resilient infrastructure, encourage inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation. Specifically, we concentrated on the development of DHXT (Deepsea Horizontal Xmas Trees) designed to operate effectively for 25 years beneath the sea at depths of up to 3000 meters. Our design incorporates a multitude of safety measures and fail-safes to ensure the longevity of the machinery and prevent any oil spillage into the surrounding water.

Commitment to Service

Volunteering for HS MUN Conference:

I volunteered at a High School Model United Nations (HS MUN) conference, dedicating three months to prepare for this event. My role involved various tasks, including helping organize logistics, mentoring and guiding student participants, and facilitating discussions during the conference. This event aimed to provide high school students with an opportunity to simulate real-world diplomacy and learn about the political landscape of the current world through Model United Nations simulations. By helping prepare these students for the complex political landscape of the current world, I contributed to their growth as informed, responsible, and globally aware citizens. This experience reinforced my belief in the power of education and mentorship in shaping the leaders of tomorrow and working towards a better and more interconnected world.

Volunteering in London, United Kingdom:

I volunteered as an MC for the Vietnamese Family Partnership organization in the United Kingdom, where I played a crucial role in organizing and hosting the 50-year anniversary event celebrating the diplomatic relationship between Vietnam and the United Kingdom. During the event, I had the privilege of interacting and meeting key members of both the Vietnamese and British governments, including the ambassador, deputy mayor, and a member of parliament. By helping organize an event that celebrated diplomatic relationships and brought together diverse communities, I contributed to the promotion of peace, understanding, and collaboration between nations. This experience reinforced my dedication to being an active and engaged global citizen, working towards a more interconnected and harmonious world.
