Stephanie Nguyen has lived, worked, and served the Sacramento and Elk Grove communities almost all her life. The daughter of Vietnamese Refugees who fled Vietnam War by boat, she grew up in Sacramento’s Little Saigon district and attended Sacramento schools before graduating from Sacramento State University. The hardships endured by her parents and the experience of growing up in a low-income household fuel her desire to serve others and help those most in need.
Stephanie knows the struggle that small business owners go through everyday. As the Executive Director of a Community-Based Organization with an $8-million budget, Stephanie has hands-on experience in running a business.
Stephanie also knows the economic struggle that many are getting through. Growing up in a low-income household where her family lived paycheck by paycheck, Stephanie knows the struggle that many residents in Sacramento and Elk Grove are currently experiencing.
