Dr. Tracy Nguyen’s life journey embodies resilience, determination, and a deep commitment to empowering women in STEM. Born in Vietnam, she was a child when she and her family became refugees in 1975, escaping the turmoil of their homeland. Despite the challenges of starting anew, Dr. Nguyen's passion for learning led her to eventually become a Doctor of Optometry.
She is a champion of STEM diversity on a mission to close the gender gap in STEM fields through her support of women in STEM. Her enthusiastic outreach advocacy wholeheartedly embraces SWE's mission and vision of empowering women to reach their potential in engineering and achieve economic parity.
She channels her experiences into tirelessly championing girls in STEM. Dr. Nguyen not only encourages young women to pursue careers in STEM but also highlights the invaluable contributions they can make to the field despite the challenges they may face along the way.
