Smart Girl Who Rocks

Graduated from the competitive Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County and held a double major in sociology and women’s studies at the College of William and Mary, Thao Nguyen became a musician and released two albums. “She’s a ‘Brave’ Girl” indeed.
