I am a Vietnamese national with a Princeton education currently living and working in Hanoi, Vietnam with the International Monetary Fund representative office. Prior to this assignment, I worked in Beijing, China with the International Labor Organization on a project to improve labor relations and human resource development in China's special economic zones (SOZs). From 1999 to 2000, I was the Managing Editor for the Egyptian Privatization Quarterly Review, a joint-publication of the Egyptian Ministry of Economy and USAID.
