Oai Tran

I was born in Vietnam and moved to the USA in 6th grade. Upon graduating from High School, I enlisted in the Marine Corps as an Infantryman. I served in the Marine Corps from 2012 to 2016. Following my enlistment, I enrolled in community college then transferred to the University of California Berkeley (Cal) Major in Economics. I earned my B.A. in Economics from the University of California Berkeley in May 2020. I recently obtained my M.A. ( Master of Quantitative Economics) from the University of California – Los Angeles (UCLA), focusing on Data Science, in December 2021. Currently I am working as a Data Scientist/Quant at Wells Fargo.

Oai’s Veteran applicant shared some inspiring words on the impacts of his mentorship: “Oai was able to help me very well because we come from very similar backgrounds. It really helped when it came to writing my personal statement because Oai had also similar experiences since we are both Vietnamese immigrants trying to better ourselves in America. In addition, he helped me articulate my experiences in ways that allowed my application to be stronger overall. He was a pivotal part of my success with my Graduate school application.” – Uychau Pham, Santa Clara University, Spring 2023
