About Me

Aloha e, my name is Dr. Lily Bui, and I’m a first-generation Vietnamese American. I’ve been surfing for 7 years and have received technical surf coaching in various parts of the globe. 

Before Women on Boards, I built a career in academic research on climate change and social equity. I taught and mentored students studying disaster resilience at the University of Hawai‘i Manoa, received my doctorate (urban studies and planning) and masters (comparative media studies) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a dual bachelor's in International Studies and Spanish from my the University of California Irvine. In addition, I have years of professional experience across applied research, public policy, science journalism, consulting, and music. 

Now, I am dedicating the majority of my time toward helping other like-minded women achieve their goals in the water and on land.
