She graduated cum laude from the University of California, San Diego with a B.A. in Political Science. At UCSD, Ms. Vu served as an elected Senator and was later appointed to be the Associate Vice President of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion for Associated Students where she secured the largest operating budget for the office in its history.

As a future lawyer, Ms. Vu envisions working with communities and advocates to end extreme poverty. Ms. Vu’s favorite aspect of pro bono work is meeting new people in the San Diego community, hearing their stories, and working in partnership with organizations such as the Legal Aid Society to provide excellent legal services.
