My name is Lina Tran, and I’m a first-generation Vietnamese-American nonprofit professional with over a decade of experience in institutional fundraising and community-based work. I was born and raised in Austin, Texas, the firstborn and eldest daughter of refugees, and I carry a deep personal commitment to advancing equity, especially in education and employment access. Currently living in Tacoma, Washington with my best-friend-turned-boyfriend, and our Bernese Mountain Dog, Isabelle.
