Commissioners Court appoints Kevin Nguyen to LGBTQIA+ Commission

16 Jul, 24

Kevin Nguyen (He/They) is a first-generation, Vietnamese-American Texan who was raised Catholic by two immigrant parents.

He attained three Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology (Baylor University 2007), Health (University of Houston 2018), and Psychology (University of Houston 2021), and a Corporate Entrepreneurship Certificate from the Bauer College of Business (University of Houston June 2019). He also holds a Master of Science Degree in College Counseling and Student Development (Azusa Pacific University 2010).

Kevin currently resides in Texas, but has previously lived in New Jersey, California, and a brief stint in Bangkok, Thailand as an English teacher. He deeply values the idea of self-discovery and improvement through education and experience and within his work and lifestyle, and he wants to produce a certain sense of inclusivity, curiosity, and mutual respect for those he interacts with.

Having a variety of lived experiences has been an eye opener for Kevin of the different complexity and importance of being an LGBTQ+ person, an AAPI person, and a voting member of this country. Kevin believes that learning the nuances within our communities and celebrating one another is imperative to growth, maturity, personal development, and support.
