Biography
Jean-huy joined Viet Voices after a team of volunteers came together to form the group with the intention of increasing civic engagement in the Vietnamese community.

Huy and his parents were the last people in his clan to migrate to the U.S. in 1990. After graduating from high school, he attended UCLA, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. He has lived in San Diego for almost 20 years and considered it his home.
Huy enjoys gardening, plants, arts, books, cooking vegan food at home, and playing with his two cats.
