Jade Nujen

Jade Nujen was born in Saigon, Vietnam, and moved to the United States when she was a kid. Jade and her mom reunited with her father and siblings in Detroit, Michigan, after many years of being separated. When Jade arrived to the United States, she realized that many challenges were awaiting her;  she had to get reacquainted with her father and siblings, overcome the language barrier, and adapt to a new culture. Jade holds a bachelor degree in Chemistry and worked in the pharmaceutical industry for several years, until she had her children. When Jade was a little girl in Vietnam, she was passionate about reading, writing and hoped to become a writer someday. Now that her children are getting older, Jade has decided to pursue her dream and recently published her first non-fiction children’s book “Goodbye Tropical Weather and Hello Winter”. Jade enjoys reading books, outdoor activities with her family, crafting and playing music.
