Moi! (Hello! in Finnish)
My name is John Huynh, but feel free to call me John. I grew up in San Francisco, California, surrounded by the vibrant culture and diversity of the Bay Area. For college, I traded in foggy mornings for sunny skies and moved to Los Angeles to study at the University of Southern California (USC), where I’m currently pursuing a degree in Business Administration at the Marshall School of Business.
While studying at USC, I realized that gaining international experience would be an amazing way to widen my perspective and challenge myself to grow personally and professionally. That’s why I decided to study abroad at the Aalto School of Business in Helsinki, Finland. This university is known for its cutting-edge design, innovative business practices, and strong commitment to sustainability.
As a proud queer Vietnamese-American, I’m passionate about creating inclusive spaces and connecting with communities worldwide. I’m thrilled to share my experiences and stories with you all throughout this journey. Kiitos! (Thank you! in Finnish)
