Alexandra M. Nguyen

I was born on Long Island, New York but raised near the North Georgia Mountains: I have the ambition of a New Yorker who walks & talks far too fast but I also have the deep south's southern charm.

​

I live for hobbies that increase my heart rate to remind me about being alive: climbing (rocks, mountains, ice), scuba diving into the unknown, backpacking, feeling the burn in my thighs cycling, and practicing mindfulness with yoga. My hobbies honed skills in problem-solving, perseverance, self-discipline, and my understanding that preparation and planning with flexibility are the keys to success. 

​

Additionally, I love traveling. Exploring new cities and countries to indulge in local cuisines brings me joy. Above all, I love submersing myself in other cultures by seeking and connecting people with different perspectives - learning more about how their experiences have shaped them into who they are today.

​

I love listening to their narratives. Their stories become a part of my story and a part of who I am.​
