Summary

Global HR Professional | 10+ yrs in Recruitment, Training & Operations | Multilingual (English, Vietnamese, Chinese) | MBA Candidate at UIUC | Cross-Cultural & Remote Work Expert. Multilingual HR professional with 10+ years of international experience across Vietnam, the US, and remote US-based firms. From managing HR teams and implementing SOPs at APU Educational Development Group, to mentoring hundreds of interpreters at KellyOCG, I’ve consistently delivered results in recruitment, training, performance management, and international onboarding. Fluent in English, Vietnamese, Mandarin, moderately fluent in Cantonese, I bridge language and cultural gaps with ease—an asset in today’s global workforce. I’ve also accumulated over 5,000 hours of on-call interpretation in healthcare, legal, government, and emergency settings, while conducting 1,000+ training sessions with a 70%+ trainee certification success rate. Currently pursuing my MBA at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I’m deepening my leadership and strategic HR capabilities to support business growth through people-first strategies. I’m passionate about building inclusive, agile HR systems that empower people, especially in multicultural or remote work environments. I'm open to new opportunities in HR operations, talent development, or global mobility roles where I can contribute to meaningful change.
