About Me
Nguyễn Lê Đông Hải | 阮黎东海
I am a penultimate year student at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, majoring in international economics with a full scholarship. With a passion for economics, I have founded and managed the Global Association of Economics Education (GAEE) to promote economics education and financial literacy for students in developing countries. I am also an op-ed columnist, TEDx speaker and the first person under 18 years old to be elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
On the media
Nguyen founded the Global Association of Economics Education when he was studying high school and has since expanded his nonprofit to more than 10 countries.
