From a literature specialized student at Hanoi Amsterdam High School for the Gifted, where she earned Second Prize in the National Excellent Student Competition in Literature, Ms. Trinh Nhu Phuong chose to pursue the Advanced Program in Business Administration at Foreign Trade University with a clear vision of developing in an international academic environment.
