ABOUT ME
I’m Võ Nguyễn Minh Thùy (Teddie), a project manager and sustainability innovator dedicated to advancing circular economy solutions and community-driven environmental action. With experience leading national and regional initiatives in Vietnam, I specialise in designing and implementing projects that tackle plastic pollution, improve water resilience, and empower young people to become change-makers.
I am now pursuing an MSc in Project Management at UCD Michael Smurfit under the Ireland Fellows Programme. This helps me strengthen my ability to design projects that are strategic, evidence-based, and scalable- projects that connect local action with long-term impact.
Driven by a belief that innovation should serve people and the planet, I create practical, scalable solutions that merge environmental science, design thinking, and youth empowerment. My goal is to build resilient, zero-waste communities and inspire the next generation to shape a more sustainable future.
