You might be wondering what the "n" in front of SJ stands for. The "n" signifies that I am a novice within the Society of Jesus. I am a Jesuit novice in my second year of formation sent to work at Creighton University for a semester. During my time at Creighton, I work in the Multicultural Affairs Office and the Center for Service and Justice. My work entails accompanying students on campus and promoting an understanding and appreciation of a faith that does justice. I also take a photography class on the side just for fun!

I was born in Vietnam. My family immigrated to the United States when I was just a little boy. We made a home for ourselves in the cold state of Minnesota. Growing up in Minnesota, I enjoy the outdoors, biking, and the many ethnic foods of the twin cities. After graduating from the University of St. Thomas, I entered the Society of Jesus.

This is my first experience writing for Creighton's online ministry. I hope I can share with the aid of the Holy Spirit the richness of God's word and love.
