About Me














Hi! My name is Linda Nguyen! I am currently working on getting my Multiple Subject credential and Masters in Education at the University of California in Davis, California. I grew up in San Jose, California and attended Los Arboles and Edenvale Elementary School, Caroline Davis Intermediate School and Oak Grove High School. Following my freshman year, my family relocated to Tracy, California where they still currently reside. It was there that I attended Merrill F. West High School and went on to San Joaquin Delta College. After two years of hardwork, I transferred to the University of California, Davis where I majored in Sociology with an emphasis in Social Services and a minor in Education. Although I have always had a love for children, initially I intended on pursuing a career in social work. However, during the latter part of my college career after an internship in a kindergarten classroom at North Davis Elementary and a job as a Kindergarten Enrichment Teacher at Merryhill Elementary School in Davis, my focus was shifted. I wanted to play a proactive role in children's lives. I wanted to be a good example for them and help in providing them with the tools and skills needed for success in life. My goal was clear. I was meant to be a teacher.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends whom I love and appreciate unconditionally. Without them I would not be the person that I am today. They have supported me relentlessly and have continued to be my biggest cheerleaders throughout all that I aspire to do. When I find time to read, my books of choice would be mystery books, especially those written by Agatha Christie. I would highly recommend "Ten Little Indians" which can also be found under the title "And Then There Were None." It is quite the page turner! Otherwise, I can found generally be found listening to music, dancing or playing board games. This past summer, I was fortunate enough to backpack though Central Europe for the first time. The experiences I gained from those three weeks were unforgettable. I definitely caught the travel bug and cannot wait for future travels!
