Hey there! My name is Mai Nguyen and I'm 30 years old. I was born and raised in Vietnam but moved to the United States when I was 21. I came here seeking a better life and education. I've been living in New York City for the past six years and have been working as a software engineer at a tech startup.
My backstory is quite interesting. Growing up, my family wasn't very wealthy but we had each other. We were a close-knit unit and worked hard to make ends meet. My parents instilled in me the value of education from an early age and pushed me to excel in school. I went on to study computer science at a prestigious university in Vietnam, where I learned how to code and developed a passion for technology.
When I moved to the U.S., it was a huge culture shock. Everything was different - the language, the food, even the way people dressed. But I adapted quickly and focused on my career. Now, I'm happy with where I am in life and excited for what the future holds.
