Tram Le is an international student from Vietnam and you can also call her Sofia, a nickname that she picked to make it easier for everyone to call and remember. Sofia graduated from the bachelor program of Economics & Management from L’Université Toulouse 1 – France. She likes singing, Latin dance, baking, knitting and practicing French and Spanish. The French quote “Vouloir c’est Pouvoir” is one of the favorite ones, which could be understood as “nothing is impossible”.
