Bio:
In her late adolescence through early adulthood, Phuong spent her years abroad experiencing different cultures, foods, and fun, which allow her to be adaptable in international environments. Phuong’s main research interest is to investigate how to make mental health treatments more appealing and engaging for young people, who are especially vulnerable to psychological difficulties. She also loves what most people hate: statistics in psychology. She is a full-time faculty member at the Faculty of Psychology, University of Social sciences and Humanities (Vietnam National University-HCMC). Currently, she is a joint Ph.D. student at Vietnam National University-Hanoi and Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences.
