Emily Nguyen
Events Director
I’m a 3rd year IB major and music minor! I’ve played the piano for over 12 years and dabble in kalimba, which is super calming and portable. I’m always down to talk and make new friends, and I’m super excited to be one of your events directors. One of my goals is to start running 5k’s regularly throughout the year. Also, I love Post Malone, especially his songs “Goodbyes”, “Internet” (I wish Kanye’s verse made it into the final cut) and “Circles” from Hollywood’s Bleeding (but really I love the entire album). Send me snapchats: nem.ly
