Tristan Trinh

Co-founder
Tristan Trinh, the Co-Founder of I Heart, is a very resourceful and adaptable individual. Being in a school where he and his peers had a limited number of opportunities due to financial constraints strongly motivates him to establish an environment where they can collectively focus on maximizing their potential rather than worrying about financial barriers. His experience managing various leadership roles and his strong connections within his school provide him with the insight to effectively guide the foundation toward its objectives.
I’d like to see my friends have the opportunity to experience extracurricular enrichment instead of having to worry about the cost. I want to change this for the people around me through I Heart Foundation.
