Ms Thao Nguyen - Educational Advisor at Capstone Vietnam

Education is potential for global cooperation. It bridges people to people, nations to nations, and facilitates exchanges of culture, knowledge, mutual understanding, and further fosters love, tolerance, and sharing.

Before joining Capstone, I devoted my career to the diplomatic sector to foster international relations and development between Vietnam and other countries. This time has laid the foundation for my belief that global cooperation can address a variety of challenges to humanity, such as hunger, poverty, injustice, climate change, pandemics, and so on.

The current position at Capstone offers me opportunities to support Vietnamese students who want to study abroad. This is a unique ticket for them to travel and study at the same time. An experience of living, studying, and/or working in a totally different country from their own is valuable for both personal and academic development. After their study, whether they decide to stay abroad or come back, their contribution to society is profound and thus deserves recognition.

I believe that education should be for ALL, especially THOSE who really need it. With a heart full of passion and the experience of successfully securing a full master's scholarship from the Government of Australia, I am committed to doing my best to assist Capstone's students in reaching new heights in life and fully developing their potential.
