Thu works in Washington, D.C. but grew up in Houston where she graduated with degrees in Chemistry and Sociology from Rice University. Through college, she was on the board of the Vietnamese Student Association and the Asian Pacific American SA and worked weekends at the nail salon. All of these experiences led to her desire to spend her free time on Rice Paper to tell the stories of young AAPIs and promote other hustlers and small businesses. Outside of Rice Paper, she works really hard on her Instagram @thudawin.
