Miss Universe Vietnam 2023 2nd Runner-up Trinh Thi Hong Dang was born and raised in Moscow. At the age of 15, she was selected to attend a summer camp in Vietnam organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, representing excellent Vietnamese students from Russia. This trip helped Dang regain her Vietnamese identity and nurture her love for her homeland.
At the age of 17, she came to the United States to study at Pennsylvania State University, majoring in financial risk analysis and real estate.
During her studies, she was elected president of 3 organizations, representing 3 different aspects of her personality: Vietnam Student Association with 40 members - the spirit of "remembering the source of water when drinking", Real Estate Association with 40 members - the desire to learn and develop professionally; Sustainable development and social responsibility organization Net Impact with nearly 200 members - enthusiasm for social responsibility. The dream of becoming a person with a positive influence, for each individual and in society, burned within her from here.
With many "huge" achievements, Hong Dang received a leadership scholarship; the "For contributions to sustainable development" award (Student Sustainability Award of Smeal College of Business); the "Best President" award of student associations (Best President Award of Smeal College of Business).
She has great academic achievements.
After 5 months of internship at a large corporation in the US, the 2nd runner-up decided to return to Russia to take care of the family during a difficult period, becoming a support for her parents. At the same time, she started her own business in the culinary industry.
The incident happened when Hong Dang went for a routine check-up, the doctor informed him that he had a tumor in his chest. Hong Dang confided: "At that moment, I suddenly woke up, and began to look back at my life. After the surgery, with moments close to the boundary of life, I woke up as a new person. I decided to put my business aside to find my dream again."
Everything changed when she discovered a lump in her breast.
"Over the past 3 years, I have found myself on the path to realizing my dream: to bring positive influence to individuals and society. On this path, I take on the role of a mental health coach, helping people understand themselves, balance their emotions in the face of life's pressures to find and realize their own dreams. So that at the moment between the boundaries of life, everyone can look back and say: I have no regrets, because I understand who I am, and have used my enthusiasm and courage to realize my dreams."
She wants to contribute more to society.
