Inspiring the Next Generation Through MBA Kids and Books
As an Australian author teaching economics to children, Dr. Hoang created MBA Kids to share her passion with the next generation. Her work reflects her deep love for her son, who serves as the inspiration behind this initiative.
Her mission is to introduce children to the fundamentals of economics, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and innovative thinking. Through MBA Kids, she offers educational programs that ignite curiosity and ambition in young learners. These programs help children become thoughtful decision-makers and creative leaders.
Beyond her academic career and economic consulting, Dr. Hoang is also the author of financial literacy books for kids. She wrote Economics for Kids: Volume 1 and 2. These books are thoughtfully written and serve as key subjects in the MBA Kids program.
They are designed to fill gaps in children’s economic and financial foundations. Additionally, they provide young readers with the tools they need to make informed decisions and build a brighter future.
