I always support the different clubs and athletic teams on campus, and I participated in the big celebration for the men's volleyball NCAA national championship.
Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you.
I am a refugee from Vietnam and escaped on a boat to Malaysia. I was sponsored by a church from Michigan to immigrate into the United States. I speak Vietnamese, and four different Chinese dialects. I have worked very hard to get where I am today with Loyola University Chicago, and appreciate all the opportunities.
