Lena Nguyen, Publicity + Web Manager

Freshman Lena Nguyen is a first year journalism student. Her hobbies consist of reading, hiking, watching sunrises and ice skating. The best advice Nguyen has received was to “focus on getting through one day at a time” as it reminds her to not be too overwhelmed about the workload she has to do. Another saying Nguyen finds helpful is to “work smarter, not harder” since she strives to be successful in the future–working her dream job either in the business or medical field. On top of her responsibilities as a student, she is also a Commissioner of Orientation and Outreach in ASB, Co-Vice President of California Junior Scholarship Federation, and attends Vietnamese language and church school. She is a part of TNTT, a Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement, and volunteers at Mini Cat Town that specializes in nurturing kittens and getting them adopted by the visitors. When it comes to characteristics in others, she values intelligence and open-mindness because she finds it challenging to communicate with stubborn people. What led Nguyen to joining journalism is the class’ involvement of writing, designing and broadcasting, as she hopes to expand her knowledge in these aspects. Her concerns about the issue of toxic parenting inspires Nguyen to write an article in order to shed light on the topic.
