Board Member
I arrived in the U.S. as a Trieu Chau-Cambodian immigrant in middle school. Despite the challenges of language and cultural barriers, I was accepted into a UC and later transferred to Cal Poly, where I earned my engineering degree. That education became the foundation for my career and a stepping stone toward uplifting my family โ thanks in large part to mentorship and networking. As a board member of Next Khmer, Iโm committed to creating those same opportunities for the next generation, ensuring that students and young professionals have the support and community they need to thrive.

As a first-generation college graduate, I know firsthand the power of education and the impact of mentorship and scholarships in helping me achieve my goals. With experience in community advocacy and local government, Iโve seen how collective action can drive meaningful change. Now, as a founding board member of NextKhmer, Iโm proud to pay it forward to the next generation of change-makers who are shaping a brighter future for the Cambodian diaspora. I believe that by supporting and building community, we can heal from the lasting effects of war and create a more positive, supportive future for our children.
