Khanh "Kay" Nguyen is a native of Vietnamsomething that she never hesitates to bring up. She graduated from Angelo State University with a Bachelor's degree in Communications. Before joining Audubon as a Walker Communications Fellow,  Kay interned at Defenders of Wildlife. She plans to tell stories that will amplify Audubon's achievements across the network and engage a younger and more diverse group of conservationists in the environmental movement. She also hopes to bring the lessons learned at Audubon back home to influence a new generation of Vietnamese people that are environmentally-sound and proactive. In her free time she enjoys cooking, watching Disney shows and movies, and connecting with animals and nature. Kay's favorite bird is the penguin!
