Michael Minh Nguyen is a first-time councilor from Boston Latin School. He joined MYC to bring real change to the issues he sees in his neighborhood and the city. Michael feels strongly about the lack of dental coverage in marginalized and low income communities. Someday, he aspires to become a pediatric dentist, dedicating his first few years serving historically excluded communities and low - income families. Michael hopes to help provide affordable and safe dental care to children who face barriers - financially, linguistically, culturally -  ensuring that all children receive quality help.

In his free time, Michael loves reading and is part of the school step team. He also has a powerlifting gold medal.
