Aloha! My name is Esther Nguyen and I’m from Honolulu, Hawaii. My background is in Management Information Systems (MIS) and Finance. I earned my bachelor’s degree in both fields and am currently pursuing my MBA with concentrations in Data Analytics and Information Systems.
My past experiences in MIS and data science have helped me discover that I enjoy working with data, solving problems, and finding ways to make information more useful. Through my experience at both a long-established company and a startup, I’ve gained experience with databases, data analysis, market research, and approaching problems from different perspectives. Looking ahead, I hope to pursue a data-related or problem-solving role where I can combine my technical and business background to improve processes, support better decisions, and ultimately make a positive impact on my community.
Outside of school and work, I enjoy traveling and exploring different cuisines. When visiting a new place, I love trying local food, taking in the scenery, and admiring the architecture. At home, I enjoy discovering new recipes and recreating some of my favorite dishes. For me, food and travel are some of the best ways to meet new people, experience different cultures, and see the world from new perspectives.
I’m excited for what’s ahead and the opportunities to learn, grow, and solve meaningful problems.
