What I can share or contribute
I can share my experience working with Vietnamese adolescents on innovation and teamwork, especially through the Innovation Playground and other youth-led activities. I hope my perspective on their challenges and strengths can add value to our discussions.
I’m a Biomedical Engineering graduate student, so I tend to see things through a logical, science-based lens. I also watch almost everything – if it exists on the internet, chances are I’ve already seen it (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧.

Role in the programme:
Global Learning Forum Coordinator, and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Support
I hope to learn or explore at GLF
I hope to learn and explore more with different people about how they are creating healthy, liveable and sustainable cities for adolescents and young people. Considering that there will be over 90 participants from HCA-II’s 10 projects across 6 different countries, each with diverse experiences and contexts, it makes me incredibly excited to learn with everyone!
What I can share or contribute
I can share ideas about how to monitor, evaluate and learn from how projects are shifting systems conditions, including those ‘small wins’ and harder-to-measure changes like advocacy, policy and influencing. I am a co-author to HCA-II’s Shifting the Status Quo guide for practitioners, and have wider evaluation experience and interests in this area.
I love to play music and used to be in a funk / folk band with a few friends.
