Class of 2026

I was born and raised in Ho Chi Minh city, Viet Nam, and moved to Canada for undergrad. After graduation, I stayed and worked for 5 years with Imperial Oil/ExxonMobil in supply and trading. The cold eventually got to me, so I decided to move south to Ann Arbor for warmer pastures.

At Ross, I'm part of a couple official group as you can see in my profile, the unofficial Vietnamese and Canadian groups, and one of three Ross ROMBA Fellows for 2024! Career-wise, I'm looking to pivot to clean tech or advanced manufacturing, either direct to industry or through consulting. I chose Ross because of the down-to-earth and friendly culture.

In my free time, I love adventure travels. Some of my favorite experiences were hiking the Laguna de Los Tres trail in Patagonia, scuba diving and canyoneering in Cebu, biking in Hell's Gate National Park in Kenya, and road tripping across Oman.

Happy to chat about anything.
