Finance & Analytics · M.S. Business Analytics @ Sacramento State

From a small village in Vietnam to institutional finance in the U.S. — I build bridges between numbers, strategy, and technology.

About Me

I'm a data-minded finance professional currently pursuing my M.S. in Business Analytics at Sacramento State (summa cum laude, 3.95 GPA). My background spans institutional investment operations at CalPERS — the nation's largest public pension fund — and equity research & trading support at Sand Hill Global Advisors.

I'm driven by the conviction that where you start shouldn't limit where you can go. Raised in Hòa Hiệp, a small farming commune in Vietnam, I earned provincial prizes in Geology and Mathematics, studied at Lê Quý Đôn High School for the Gifted, and made my way to the U.S. on a vision of building something meaningful.

Trilingual in English, Vietnamese, and Mandarin. ICBSC 1st Place winner (featured in the Sacramento Business Journal). Value investor at heart. Startup builder in the making.
