She describes the type of woman who inspires her as “a contemporary, creative person who has become successful due to her independence and self-reliance.”
“I am grateful to have even been considered for this scholarship,” said Nguyen. “My financial struggle has been difficult, and this really builds confidence in my design ability. I’m honored to have this recognition.”
