I was born in Vietnam but have spent the majority of my adult life in London. Raised as a daughter and granddaughter of small business owners, I've learned to appreciate the importance of hard-work and cultivating a close-knit team. This upbringing has fuelled a profound aspiration within me to embark on the journey of becoming an entrepreneur through acquisition and a desire to advance the SMB community in the UK.
​
Prior to founding Acacia Partners, I spent over a decade providing support to businesses across a wide range of sizes and geographies. I began my career in banking and private equity, before venturing into various operational roles within health care & technology companies as an Executive. In these positions, I effectively fostered operational excellence and led diverse teams to achieve organizational success.
​
I studied Management at Brigham Young University (BSc) and Entrepreneurship & Innovation at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (MBA).
​
My biggest passion for the past two decades has been helping high-school students from across the globe get into their dream colleges. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, practicing yoga, gardening, baking and spending quality time with my family and friends.
