PIVOT Fellow Spotlight - Lillian Trinh
/My name is Lillian Trinh and I am a Vietnamese-Taiwanese American from Tulsa, OK. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2017 with a BA in Letters, Constitutional Studies after leaving the business program. This was a pivotal moment for me as it exposed me to many of the issues that face disenfranchised and marginalized populations in America. It was also during college I became more aware and attached to my Vietnamese heritage, there wasn't much representation for Southeast Asians in Tulsa. After I graduated, I moved to Austin, TX where I currently work as an Experience Coordinator at Poly. Furthermore, my renewed interest and passion in learning more about my Vietnamese heritage eventually led me to UVSA South and UNAVSA. I currently serve as the President for UVSA South, and am wrapping up my term as Civic Engagement Core team member for UNAVSA.
