Aspiring Teacher, Professor, and Corporate Trainer | Student Teaching in Fall 2026

Hello everyone! I'm Conan Nguyen, and it's my honor to serve you as the Vice President this semester.

teachHOUSTON has changed my life from a desperate software engineer to an inspiring and motivated teacher.  I also served as PD Junior Officer and PD Director in 2024-25. 

My goal for this year would be to help the society grow to be a strong and supportive community for preservice teachers at UH.
