Campus Life
I'm President of our Lambda Phi Epsilon chapter — a 100+ member organization where I lead programming, recruitment, and chapter operations. As Historian for the Vietnamese Student Association, I preserve and share our community's story through events and media. I'm also in the Photography Club, where I shoot on weekends.
