All the things I do in my life fall into the pursuit of one of these four things: healthcare, science, community service, and Vietnamese culture. Being raised in a rigorously Catholic family, community service has always been a central value of the Pham. My annoying curiosity ignited my love for science and research. After witnessing how healthcare workers took care of my dying grandfather, the calling to serve and take care of people led me to a path in healthcare. Finally, an identity crisis during my junior year in college motivates me to define and fight for my identity as a strong, independent Vietnamese woman.
