My name is Mindy Nguyen and I’m currently a third-year transfer (5th year / Senior) student here at UCSD. I’m majoring in Applied Mathematics & minoring in Math Education. After this year, I’m pursuing a Masters in Education & I want to teach Mathematics to grades 6-12 in the future!
My hobbies include online & offline sports – PC gaming, volleyball, weightlifting, bowling, & dog-watching. I browse a lot of memes and eat a lot of applesauce.
On campus, I’m currently an Education Studies Ambassador, President of Triton Overwatch at UCSD, & HR Director of Triton Gaming. I’ll probably be ushering you all to come to our events, so plz come thru.
I just recently finished a study abroad program in Budapest, Hungary. It’s called the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Education (BSME). If you’re interested in this program or studying abroad in general, lets talk about it!
My extracurricular activities include volunteer and mentoring work at various schools in the San Diego Unified School District. My current schools are The Preuss School at UCSD & O’Farrell Charter School.
TLDR; I highly enjoy video games & education, so talk to me if either of those are your passions. Don’t be afraid to ask me about anything else though, I’m here to give you life hacks to help you get used to UCSD!
