Team member since May 2022

My Responsibilities at the Endowment:

  • Key liaison between grantees and the Endowment.
  • Create paths for the Endowment to co-create opportunities with other organizations/entities to help the Endowment meet its outcomes.
  • Oversee the Endowment’s nonprofit capacity building initiative.
  • Utilize data collected from grantees to help inform future learning needs that directly support system level outcomes for the Endowment’s roadmap.

My Proudest Accomplishment:

I am the first in my family to graduate from college. I am also the first to obtain a graduate degree. My immigrant parents placed great hopes in education and graduating from UNC Charlotte and the University of Pittsburgh was a major win for all of us.

Before I Joined the Endowment:

I worked as a Resource Coordinator with the United Way of North Carolina. Prior to that I was involved with Children of Vietnam as their Grants and Administrative Assistant. Before joining Children of Vietnam, I was living and working in Philadelphia for a community-based organization serving predominantly the Vietnamese immigrant community there.

Education, Awards, Community Engagement:

  • MID from the University of Pittsburgh
  • BA from UNC Charlotte
  • AmeriCorps ACCESS alumnus

When Not Working, I Enjoy:

  • Making a mess in my kitchen trying out new recipes and perfecting old ones
  • Loving on my rescue dog, Butters
  • Streaming movies, shows, and podcasts while I pot and repot houseplants
  • YouTube Karaoke
