Combining her passion for dermatology with her commitment to community health, Blair founded The Skin Dignity Project to raise respectful awareness of scabies in Vietnamese communities and provide practical resources for prevention and treatment.

Blair’s journey began in Long Beach, CA (“The International City”) where her curiosity about other cultures grew through extensive travel across six continents (with the seventh planned for 2026). At just thirteen, while on a street food tour in Ho Chi Minh City, she noticed recurring untreated skin conditions among local residents. Unable to stop thinking about what she had seen, Blair began researching and discovered the condition was scabies, the most common skin disease in Vietnam. This moment sparked a year-long collaboration with a medical student at Emory Medical School, resulting in her first research paper: Scabies in Low Income Asian Countries, Specifically Vietnam; Full Review: Pathophysiology, Prevalence, Diagnosis, Prevention, Environment, and Treatment Outbreak (Hudson, 2025), soon to be published in a medical journal.

Inspired by her findings, Blair launched The Skin Dignity Project, a grassroots initiative focused on educating and equipping the Little Saigon community in Westminster, CA (home to the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam and adjacent to Blair’s hometown of Long Beach) with culturally relevant prevention tools and resources. Her team personally raises funds, assembles, and hand-delivers 23-piece hygiene kits designed to help prevent and treat scabies, ensuring that every act of outreach preserves dignity and promotes health. Her team has distributed over 100 kits to community centers, temples & medical facilities. Her goal is to distribute 2,000 kits by the end of 2026.

Blair also founded Dance Aware Skincare (www.danceawareskincare.org), an global nonprofit dedicated to empowering dancers worldwide, especially those in underserved communities, to feel confident, seen, and supported in their skin. Inspired by her travels, she recognized that dancers everywhere often battle untreated acne, rashes, and infections without access to proper care or education. Dance Aware Skincare works to destigmatize dancer-specific skin conditions and provide inclusive, culturally sensitive skincare education to the world’s 50 million dancers. Dance Aware has reached over 4,500 dancers in 14 countries.

Blair is a member of The Medical Club and Women in Public Health, and also served on the strategy and marketing team for an international dance-related tech startup based in New York. She aspires to become a leading dermatologist, providing complimentary skin treatments in underserved regions worldwide, with a mission to restore both health and dignity to those in need.
