I started working at Goodwin University in 2009. A motivating factor for me to pursue higher education was due to my family's history. My family and I immigrated to the United States from Cambodia in 1981 due to a civil war where poverty, enslavement, torture, education and basic human rights were stripped. I want to help those who seek an education and a better life the same opportunity.
