AMBER NGUYEN is an award-winning writer and author of the Trivium Trilogy. Before she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from Arizona State University, she majored in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a minor in Theatre at Oklahoma State where she was in the honors program. As a freshman research scholar at OSU, Amber worked on the VirOligo database which helps researchers needing virus-specific oligonucleotides. The work was published in Nucleic Acids Research. She also starred in a production of How I Learned to Drive in OSU’s Davis Theatre. While many thought her crazy for being both a scientist and an actress, she found a way to combine her passion for both in her writing.
