PIVOT Fellow Spotlight - Frederick Tran

Frederick Tran is the PIVOT fellow for the great state of Texas. He graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2017 with a degree in Critical Languages and International Studies, focusing in Russian. After graduation, he worked in programming and development for an international nonprofit that specializes in empowering orphans. He recently came off an internship with the Dallas County Republican Party, where he fundraised for a conservative candidate. Frederick joined the PIVOT fellowship program because he strongly believes in PIVOT's values to engage Vietnamese Americans to fight for an equal and just nation for all Americans, especially those who come from disenfranchised groups whose voices are often silent or unheard. He hopes to continue working in development for either nonprofits or political campaigns after the fellowship is over.
