Graduation Spotlight Backgorund

2022 Senior Spotlight

Ilana Nguyen

Who is the person you most admire?
Patsy T. Mink, the first Asian woman and the first POC woman in Congress. I admire her for being a strong advocate for equal educational opportunities for women and people of color.

What advice do you wish you could known at the start of your Stanford OHS journey?
Chill out, relax. Enjoy where you are in your journey because it all goes by so fast. Also, don't be afraid to take risks! Be confident in your (amazing) abilities and I promise that no matter how many 'fails' or 'successes' you encounter, you'll end up in a much cooler place than if you let fear of failure hold you back.

What is your favorite study snack?
A few... or more... squares of 77% dark chocolate and a cup of hot jasmine green tea

In 10 years, I hope:
To be content, with solid relationships and outlets for my passions. I also hope to become a professor/be involved in education at some point!
