Bio
Kevin Lu Nguyen, ASW, PPSC
Sage at their core applies their vast lived experiences to connect with and be of support to others. I have met Sage before starting our MSW program at UCLA through co-creating a virtual community for our cohort members. Since then, I have been in several courses with Sage and worked on multiple group projects with them. Their strengths lie with being resourceful, uplifting and checking in on others, and maintaining optimism and drive to carry team projects forward. Sage alludes a caring nature with whatever space they take up and are incredibly responsive, conscientious, and engaged in their commitments. I wish Sage the best in their endeavors and am open to being a recommender for anyone who like to inquire more about them.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rachel for nearly a year now. She was one of three incoming 1st year MSW students at UCLA who volunteered to moderate a Facebook group for her cohort. As a 2nd year student who volunteered to help support their work, I can attest to the fact that this is no ordinary Facebook group. I have watched as Rachel and her fellow co-moderators help connect their colleagues to resources, demystify the complex systems and processes of the #1 public university in the U.S., and survive a first year of a graduate program in the middle of a pandemic. Rachel’s compassion, vision, and resourcefulness make her a valuable member of any team. Potential employers, please feel free to reach out to me if you’d like to hear more about Rachel and her many positive qualities.
