Sokvy Vin is a senior at the University of Portland (UP), where she majors in Finance with a minor in Global Business. Sokvy is passionate about building equitable communities through economic empowerment and hopes to leverage her finance skills to achieve this.

On campus, Sokvy served as an International Student Campus Connector, working directly with the Office of International Student Services.

She was also involved with the International Club, where she served as a Vice President. At the end of her junior year, Sokvy received the Br. Fulgence Dougherty C.S.C. Award from the Division of Student Affairs in recognition of her service and leadership within the international student community at UP.

In summer 2024, Sokvy interned at the Oregon State Treasury as a Straub Fellow, a fellowship honoring the legacy of Robert W. Straub, the 31st governor of Oregon. Sokvy worked with the Strategy and Program Director of the Oregon Treasury Savings Network to conduct research using internal data and external best practices. Her work aimed to increase account growth and improve the utilization of in-state refundable income tax credits for participation in the 529 College Savings Plan and ABLE Savings Plan.

Sokvy also spent two months of her summer 2024 in Cambodia launching a basketball program at her former primary school in a rural area. She raised over $4,000 in funds, oversaw the construction of a basketball court, supplied basketball equipment, and provided basketball training for hundreds of students and 11 teachers.

Sokvy spent summer 2023 interning at Bluehub Capital, where she deepened her understanding of finance and impact investing. She worked with the Green Portfolio Committee of the Bluehub Loan Fund, aggregating internal data and quantifying carbon emissions to assess the portfolio’s green impact.

Prior to joining SHE-CAN, together with two friends, Sokvy successfully launched a community health project to enhance sanitation in a village in her community with the assistance of Cambodia’s Future Foundation (CFF). Her team persuaded residents to invest in a toilet, with the community agreeing to pay half the cost of construction and CFF providing the remainder. Sokvy and her companions constructed ten toilets for the community over the course of two years.
