My dad took this picture when he took me to the zoo while my mom finished up her Master's thesis, which eventually became my mom's all-time favorite photo of me. Family is a fundamental part that nurtures my love for science, healthcare, community service, and Vietnamese culture. Trips with my mom to remote areas to provide minority children with annual check-ups. Nights packing care packages for people from Central Vietnam suffering from floods and tsunamis. I hope to tell that story as you are reading through this page.
