LEADERSHIP & VOLUNTEER
Vice-President
STUDENT COUNCIL
Vinschool The Harmony
The council is responsible for organizing school events and maintaining students’ well-being
Leadership isn’t about authority; it’s about earning trust. As Vice President of the Student Council, I led eight committees and over 70 members to run student activities across the school. I chaired monthly meetings, represented the student body in talks with school leaders, and helped develop financial plans and logistical strategies for school-wide events. The hardest part wasn’t managing tasks; it was connecting people and ensuring every member felt valued and heard. From this role, I learned a simple truth: effective leadership comes from responsibility, consistency, and respect.
Every school has a Prom Night, but I didn’t want ours to be just another party. I wanted it to mean something. As head of the organizing committee, I led a 15-member team to create the “A Midnight in Hanoi” theme. We managed the event budget, coordinated vendors, designed the venue layout, and oversaw ticket operations. I also worked with the music and design teams to build a photo area and a student award segment that celebrated individuality. The event welcomed over 300 students, stayed financially balanced, and received great feedback. What I’m most proud of isn’t the décor or the lights; it’s the sense of connection we created for our school community.
Head of Logistics
HARMONY UNIFIED YOUTH MODEL
Student organization that organizes Model UN debates annually for participants from across Vietnam
As Head of Logistics at Harmony Unified Youth Model UN, I led a team of 20 people to organize a national conference with over 250 delegates. I created the event timeline, budget system, sponsorship process, and risk management plan. I also supervised the execution on-site. The real lessons came not when things went smoothly, but when they didn’t. When a sponsor dropped out at the last minute, I quickly put contingency plans into action. When the registration system crashed, I manually rebuilt it to meet the deadline. I learned that logistics isn’t just about following a plan; it’s about staying calm when things don’t go as expected.

HARMONY HEART2HEART
A student-led club that organizes charity fundraisers and community volunteering projects.
There are places where impact doesn’t come from money or technology; it comes from organized compassion. As Head of Logistics at Harmony Heart2Heart, I didn’t just volunteer; I turned good intentions into structured, sustainable projects. I led a team that ran weekly English classes for visually impaired students. We didn’t teach with textbooks but with imagination and sound. I designed lessons that rely on music, dialogue, and storytelling to help students learn without depending on sight.
In addition to education, I manage large fundraising efforts. I led a charity art exhibition featuring oil paintings, pottery, and handmade pieces, raising $11,000 for children in need. Shortly after, I directed a $6,000 relief campaign for patients at Hanoi’s kidney dialysis village. I personally visited families to distribute aid and listen to their stories. These projects strengthened my belief that kindness is powerful, but organized kindness can change lives.
Volunteer to support pupils in remote regions of North Vietnam
I don’t believe in distant charity. Impact requires presence. I joined a project that supports students in Na Chi (Ha Giang) and Pha Luong (Moc Chau), where access to education is limited. We raised $500 to provide desks, books, and learning materials. Then we traveled to the villages to build classrooms and lead hands-on science experiments that encouraged curiosity and problem-solving.
Back in Hanoi, I continued this mission by leading a $6,000 fundraising campaign for patients in the city’s dialysis village. Families there struggle with lifelong medical expenses. Meeting them in person changed me. I realized that real impact isn’t built on sympathy but on dignity, empathy, and action.
