PIVOT Fellow Spotlight - Minh-Triet Dao

August 28, 2020/ Josie Nguyen

My name is Minh-Triet. Growing up in Los Angeles, I graduated Cal State LA with a degree in Asian & Asian American Studies. Being in the realm of community organizing, I worked at Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches as their Vietnamese Outreach & Recruitment Coordinator to educate and register people to join the Be The Match registry. I am now living in Chandler, Arizona with the hopes of working with the Vietnamese community to educate and register them to be well-informed voters.

PIVOT Fellow Spotlight - Summer Tran

August 28, 2020/ Josie Nguyen

My name is Summer Tran and I am a senior at Arizona State University majoring in Criminology & Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology. I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I am very involved in the Asian American Pacific Islander community at ASU and am always interested in doing more for the community I care about so much, which is why I joined the PIVOT Fellowship Program. I hope that through this program I will be able to increase the voter turnout for Vietnamese and Asian Americans so we can become the change we want to see in the world.
