Kat Nguyen
Fundraising & Development Manager

Originally from Colorado, Kat has lived in Hong Kong since 2015. Kat spent the first half of her professional career crunching numbers as a tax accountant. After moving to HK, Kat wanted to focus more on marginalised communities and was lucky enough to find positions in Hong Kong that aligned with her values, firstly working with domestic workers and now at RUN with refugees and asylum seekers.

“I am personally drawn to refugees as my family had to flee Vietnam after the war. My family has shown me that the word 'refugee' does not define you, but can be the start of your journey.”

When not in the office you can find Kat at the pool, hiking or cooking at home. In her spare time, Kat is also learning to speak French!
