Sister Giang Nguyen

Current Ministry Location: Kenya

Sister Giang Nguyen was born in Viet Nam and grew up in Texas. She entered Maryknoll after some years of work as a System Engineer at NASA Johnson Space Center in the Mission Operations Directorate.

Her first mission in 1999 was in Taiwan, working with indigenous women, and women trafficked to Taiwan as “foreign brides.” In 2006, Sister Giang was a member of the Maryknoll Sisters peacebuilding team working within and with diverse grassroot communities building peace, resilience, and healing. Her work with victims of violence has led to trauma studies and certification in different body-based healing modalities. She continues to work with individuals and groups working towards integrative transformations.
