Hi! My name is Michelle Nguyen and I'm currently a technical communication masters student at the University of North Texas.

One way many of my close friends describe me is a person with a lot of weird hobbies. I really like cooking and reading, but I also enjoy making origami and sending mail with flair and fanfare. I also enjoy watercolor painting and photography, but I also indulge in creating haikus and researching topics just for fun. I hope that gives you a bit of insight into my interests and who I am as a person!

I don't have much experience in repairs as I try to keep my items in the best condition possible but I do have an interest learning more about the iFixit project. Other than my participation in this project being a class assignment, I look forward in gaining an insight of the process many others experience when attempting to contribute to this project. I don't have a lot of experience with the electronic repairs but I do have a a bit of experience with repairs for personal care items such as make up, self care tools, and similar products.
In the future, I plan to use my masters degree to advocate for universal design during the design process. I really liked the idea of iFixit's values of reducing waste so I'd like to stick around and create more repair guides in the future as well.
