Welcome everyone to my website!

My name is Ha Vien. I am a Ph.D. Student in Public Administration at North Carolina State University. My research of interest focuses on:

Recently, I started to examine the relationships and spillovers between Higher Education Institutions and metro area sustainability performance from the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)'s point of view. Working as a government officer for some years, I am experienced in how federal, state and local government truly operate, and how public managers truly participate to make collective actions. I have had a wide range of international experiences from US, Sweden, Japan, ASEAN and China.

I got my MPA from Indiana University Bloomington, concentrated on Public Policy Analysis and International Development, that has equipped me with quantitative and qualitative research skills through STATA, R, SAS... and now I am working on learning GIS and other statistical analysis software to support my research interest. I also consulted for Vietnam Government and World Bank (i.e., IFC) in Vietnam during my study at IUB.

In my free time, I enjoy travelling 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, all the while nurturing a passion for nature and sustainability.
