Từ Khánh Vy

“Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake”

Từ Khánh Vy is my name. They call me a sunny girl - radiating energy, passion, and an unstoppable drive. From the bustling halls of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), Vietnam where I dive deep into Logistics and Supply Chain Management, to leadership roles that challenge me to think bigger, I thrive on turning complexity into efficiency. My journey isn’t just about mastering the field; it’s about leading with vision, inspiring change, and proving that "this girl right here's gonna rule the world ;)". Leadership, to me, is more than a title; it's the ability to uplift and empower. I bring my all, because passion isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am. I’m forever grateful for my family and lovely friends, whose unwavering support fuels my ambition.
