Valentine Nguyen — Co-Creative Director/California Chapter Lead

Valentine is a senior at Enochs High School in Modesto, California, and the co-creative director for The Aceso Project. Growing up in a notoriously medically underserved part of California’s Central Valley, Valentine has witness firsthand the impact of social determinants of health and the importance of public health awareness. As such, Valentine strongly values community involvement as a research intern studying ADHD diagnosis disparities, volunteering at a hospice, and more! An educator at heart, Valentine is drawn to The Aceso Project because she is able to explore the intersection between art, writing, and science to make a tangible impact on communities.
