Personal Academic Tutor (PAT)

With over a decade in the Banking and Finance sector, my journey began with pivotal roles, including Credit Officer and Trade Finance Officer at Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (Vietinbank), and as a Financial Analyst at Viet Value Consulting Group. I had the opportunity to be project leader of SIFE (Enactus) at Banking University, spearheading community support initiatives in Vietnam.

In 2017, I embarked on the academic career as a lecturer at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education (Vietnam). In 2022, I joined the University of Sunderland in London as a Personal Academic Tutor (PAT), for students specialising in MSc Finance and Management, BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance, and BA (Hons) Accounting and Financial Management. With a passion for fostering academic excellence, my aim is to empower undergraduate and postgraduate students in the realm of Accounting and Finance, guiding them toward realising their utmost potential. Drawing upon a wealth of teaching experience and academic expertise, I provide tailored educational and holistic support to address the unique needs of each student.

In terms of academic background, I hold a Ph.D. in Finance from Newcastle University and an MSc in Finance from Bangor University.
