Tran “Tessa” Nguyen
What is your role / current company?
Product Marketing Analyst/Dell Technologies
If you could give one piece of advice to other Young Pros, what would it be?
Keep a healthy balance between work and personal life. Do not lose sight of what brings you joy and what you are passionate about amidst the demands of your career.
What is your greatest professional achievement?
My proudest professional accomplishment so far has been the summer internship project that I did for Dell. I was able to help expand an existing marketing campaign in the U.S. to the Canadian market.
What is your biggest professional challenge?
One professional challenge I had was working in Singapore during the summer of 2022. I learned how to navigate my internship while also adapting to the Singaporean culture.
How has being an ARF Young Pro member impacted your career?
Even though I recently joined Young Pros, I’ve already felt a sense of community and support. I could see myself grow a lot with Young Pros in the future and I hope I can contribute to the community with my skills and passions.
Do you have a favorite campaign or activation? What made it stand out to you?
My favorite campaign is Dove’s “Real Beauty.” It aims at building self-confidence and authenticity in women and young children.
What’s an example of a company/ brand that you think is doing a great job?
I really like Microsoft. The company seems very stable yet still innovative and willing to change in the future.
What is one thing you have seen on the internet recently that made you smile? Work-related or otherwise. (PG-13!)
Duolingo’s app icon can change (article on LinkedIn) based on user activity. I’m amazed at how creative the marketing and PR teams at Duolingo are!
Has mentorship played a role in your career journey? Anyone you want to give a shoutout to? Include their name if you’re comfortable sharing!
I have had a lot of mentors in my time in college and early professional careers. That is why I strive to pay it forward!
What’s your dream job? (If money was no object, what would you do?)
A full-time traveler and volunteer/service leader. I love exploring different cultures and meeting people of different backgrounds.
