Christy graduated Double First in Economics at Oxford (BA & MPhil) and as a Valedictorian and a Legatum Fellow at MIT Sloan (MBA). She is passionate about her two kids, working with amazing teams, and engaging in projects that seek to maximize human potential.

A gift to Fulbright University Vietnam is an investment in Vietnam’s future.
