Hello! My name is Nhi. I am a Penn State professor and photographer in State College. I am committed to creating a positive impact in Happy Valley - be that through beautiful photographs or investing in future students through my scholarship.

Education transformed my life. I grew up in poverty and was only able to achieve my PhD through scholarships. (Read my full story here.) I am delighted to sponsor an annual, merit-based $2000 high school scholarship to help more students attain higher education. To enter, applicants must be a female junior attending high school in Centre County and have a GPA of 3.8 or above.

It is my hope that our community can empower girls to pursue higher education and become change-makers and leaders of the world.
