LeaTran SpeakerAndCoach

Lea Tran is an ethnic Chinese who fled VN in 1979 to the U.S. as a “boat person.”  
A Villanova University graduate with a chemistry degree, a female scientist, turned successful entrepreneur.
 
A TEDx and Keynote Speaker, the author of "I Did Not Miss the Boat," Lea shared the story of the coming of age of an adolescent girl who struggled to help her family’s assimilation into a new country while searching for her own identity. Lea Tran did not experience a typical American upbringing from surviving the vast South China Seas, pirate raids, and uninhabited refugee camps to rebuild her life from the ground up. Lea has broken more than one glass ceiling and continues to do so. 

Extracting from her multi-faceted cultural and life experiences, Lea strives to bring her message of hope and courage to empower women and young adults to seek growth opportunities by proactively making the change to advance their purpose in life. They never have to miss the boat if they know how to build one.
