Athyna Nguyen - Longarm Quilt Machine Operator
Prior to joining The Sewing Labs, Athyna Nguyen got her start in sewing as a men’s suiting specialist. She had the knowledge of how to mark and measure, but had never touched a sewing machine before finding the Sewing Salon Training Program.
After completing the 30 week training program, she stuck around as a teaching assistant to her Mentor Drew Daly. It wasn’t long before The Sewing Labs brought Athyna on as a Longarm Quilting Machine Operator, and thus continues her apprenticeship journey to earning her Industrial Sewing Certification.
Outside of the Sewing Labs, Athyna is a Social Worker with a BSW from Missouri Western State University. She assists members of the community experiencing chronic mental illness find and keep stable housing and health services. If you ever need a resource for something, she’s got one for you!
