It was here that Thuy, like so many immigrant families, was taught that she could do anything that she set her mind to. After working as an executive at Price Waterhouse, Thuy married, had kids and began working on something entirely different: her body. We sit with Thuy and talk about her amazing transformation.Profiles

By the same token, it’s not a frequent occurrence to meet someone whose tales of woe, unbearable challenges and victorious triumphs can bring you to your knees in sadness yet uplift your spirits to new heights of joy all at the same time.
