ABOUT

SOCIAL MEDIA & CONTENT CREATION 

I thrive in environments that embrace creativity and curiosity. Living in New York City enables me to explore the intricacies of human interactions and interests, learning in-depth about the culture, influences, and trends that affect our actions and condition our reactions to the world around us. I translate this knowledge into my personal and professional social media marketing work.


I specialize in social media strategies, content development, and delivering creative outputs. I aim to drive and empower self- and social empowerment in digital and social spaces. My content is an extension of my creative tendencies, aesthetic preferences, and overall personality.

At New York University, I studied the intersections of media, business, and technology on global audiences. My objective is to find an outlet through which I can translate my studies into tangible goals, products, and results.

My Timeline

Life is never linear, and I've recently come to understand what that means. From the beginning of my life to where I am now, nothing has been typical or ordinary... and that is why I see my timeline as interesting and worth sharing. I hope you enjoy my story.

Becoming a Ballerina

June 2000

On the 10th day of July, in 1999, I was born in Bac Ninh, Vietnam. This is the extent to which I can remember living in my birth country. My parents, however, have many stories to share about their trip to adopt--some funny, most emotional. Even though I am Vietnamese by birth, I am American by association, and much of my life has been trying to find and reclaim my cultural identity.

August 2001

As an Asian girl in one of the most rural and homogenized states, developing an identity was not without challenges. To add to that differentiation, my father was the superintendent of my school district. There were many obstacles I had to overcome just to establish a sense of self and community in a place where everyone else looked foreign to me. Nevertheless, I found ways to adapt and overcome.

June 2016

After high school, I took a road less traveled; I took 2 gap years to chase my dreams of becoming a professional ballerina. After numerous national auditions, I secured a trainee position dancing at The Joffrey Ballet in Chicago, IL. I could finally dedicate my heart and body to the art form I'd been passionate about since I was a young girl. Unfortunately, not all that glitters is gold, and I soon learned that some dreams are more for satisfying the soul than for setting things in reality.

A Student Again

August 2018

Hanging up my pointe shoes and tutus for school books and 1000-word essays, I attended NYU two months after my Joffrey Ballet traineeship ended. It's not uncommon for young dancers to pursue something different, whether it's college or modeling or anything in between, but the adjustment to academics was disheartening... at first. Maybe it was the excitement that I'd get to spend my first year in London or maybe it was the yearning to do something new. Either way, NYU was a fantastic experience that opened my eyes to the world.
