ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m a Vietnamese-Australian writer from Melbourne, Australia. I write for:

Screen (NBC Universal, SBS Australia, Seven Australia, Matchbox Pictures, December Media)

Stage (Melbourne Theatre Company, Malthouse Theatre)

Radio (ABC)

Print (Black Inc, Australian Financial Review)

I've just been nominated for a 2020 Australian Writers Guild Award for Best Miniseries. I frequently collaborate and co-write with my brother, Alan Nguyen, a film-maker, writer, virtual reality/augmented reality artist and academic.

I am also an academic with a PhD from the Australian National University. Having previously worked at the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Brookings Institution (Washington D.C.), I regularly publish peer-reviewed studies and teach Machine Learning, Data Analysis and Economics.
