Founding and Advisory Team
We are a group of educators and educational consultants who are committed to supporting every student for their academic success
Kim
Co-Founder and CEO
M.Ed. , University of Toronto
Kim earned a full scholarship from Vietnam to study engineering in Italy — and spent the next decade working across education, admissions, and student support in Asia and Canada. She holds a Master of Education in Educational Leadership and Policy at the University of Toronto. Kim co-founded Golden Education because she believes every student deserves honest guidance from someone who has genuinely walked the path before them.
"I didn't have someone who had walked the path before me. I want to be that person for students now."
Nguyen
Co-Founder and Advisor
MSc Commerce, University of Virginia
Nguyen left Vietnam at 17 on a scholarship path that took him from New Zealand to the US—earning a Kofi Annan Scholarship to Macalester College and an O’Connell International Award Winner Scholarship for his Master's at the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Business. A consultant and business strategist who has worked across Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea, and Canada, he advises students on admissions strategy with the precision of someone who has earned his place in competitive academic environments on three continents.
"The path from Vietnam to a US university isn't mysterious — it's a process. And once you understand the process, it becomes navigable."
Tien
Advisor and Counsellor
M.Ed, UBC / Ed.D. , University of Toronto
Tien has navigated the scholarship system from Vietnam to three continents — earning full scholarships for her Master's degrees at UBC and Maastricht University, and now completing a fully-funded PhD at OISE, University of Toronto. A US State Department YSEALI Fellow and Japanese Government SSEAYP Youth Leader, she has spent over a decade in education research and student support. At Golden Education, she guides students through exactly the process she has lived herself.
"Every scholarship I received started as something that felt out of reach. Then I learned how the system works — and everything changed."
"We are scholars who walked this path.
Now we walk it with you."
