Hi everyone! I’m Ánh, a 17-year-old student at Nguyen Hue High School for the Gifted in Hanoi, Vietnam.

If you asked my friends to describe me, they’d probably say I have too many hobbies and way too many tabs open. They’re right. I bounce between piano, research, sustainability, manga, documentaries, cafés, and whatever random topic has caught my attention that week. At this point, I’m basically the Golden Snitch of my own life: flying off in a new direction whenever something interesting comes along. I’ve never been very good at staying in one lane, but that’s half the fun.
