With several years of experience as a government officer, I have a deep understanding of the operations of federal, state, and local governments, as well as the role of public managers in facilitating collective actions. Additionally, my diverse international experiences in the US, Sweden, Japan, ASEAN countries, and China have broadened my perspective on these issues.

I earned my MPA from Indiana University Bloomington, concentrating on Public Policy Analysis and International Development. This program equipped me with both quantitative and qualitative research skills through tools such as STATA, R, and SAS. Currently, I am expanding my expertise by learning GIS and other statistical analysis software to support my research interests. Additionally, during my time at IUB, I consulted for the Vietnamese government and the World Bank (specifically IFC) in Vietnam.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my family—my husband and my lovely kids. My heart finds serenity in the embrace of fresh, open air and the beauty of national parks. This time spent in nature also nurtures my passion for sustainability.
