Vy Nguyen

Researcher

Hi! My name is Vy Nguyen. I grew up in the south of Vietnam and came to the U.S. (Seattle, WA) eight years ago. I attended the University of Washington for my undergraduate study, majoring in Environmental Health. Afterward, I worked as an Environmental Health Specialist in a county district, then as a Medical Assistant in a local hospital. Over the last two years, I decided to transition my career into tech, pursuing a Master’s at Georgia Tech. I’m halfway through the program now and currently involved in the NFHM project, with my main responsibility focused on the frontend. I seek to learn and collaborate with other parts of the project as well. I am also taking Computer Networks course in this semester. Outside of school, I’m helping with my family’s business and taking care of my 1.5-year-old son. My hobbies include drawing, walking with my son, and hanging out with my husband and son to explore new restaurants and coffee shops.
