Hi, you are looking at the pictures of the best Tran out there in the world! My name is Thi Tran. I am originally from Vietnam and very new to Wisconsin. I’m currently a member of the 115th Fighter Wing in the Wisconsin Air National Guard and an undergraduate student at UW. I like to sleep most of the times. On my free times, I will study (no I’m seriously enjoying study) and maybe go for a hike, a walk, or a bike ride! Besides biochemistry, I enjoy learning languages. I’m currently learning my third language – Korean, and I hope that one day this can be beneficial to my military career. I really enjoy Madison, and I’m looking forward to earning a Bachelor’s degree from my dream school! To me, Madison, Wisconsin is where I could aim high and dream high, and I believe that it will also be where all of my dreams come true! On, Wisconsin!

I enjoy working with the Wisconsin Air National Guard while being a full-time student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as both roles provide me with valuable lessons, opportunities to meet amazing people, and unique experiences! I feel fortunate to have these dual roles, as they allow me not only to give back to the Madison community but also to provide financial stability for my family.

“Hello, I’m Thi Tran. I’m a senior at UW–Madison, graduating in Spring 2026, and I’ve served in the Wisconsin Air National Guard for about three years. I’m grateful for the opportunities the WI ANG has provided—supporting my education at my dream school and giving me hands-on experiences with mission-critical equipment and operations. I’m not originally from Wisconsin, but this state has been a welcoming home where I’ve grown as a student, service member, and community member. Wisconsin truly feels like home now! On, Wisconsin!​

Outside of service, I’m passionate about healthcare and hope to continue serving in the military in a healthcare role. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, solving Rubik’s Cubes, and spending quality time with my family.”
