Truc-Ha's moniker rhymes with “bazooka”; however she has not had much success in making this a useful mnemonic for patients. Truc-Ha was born in California, grew up in Northern Nevada, earned a BA in English Writing and a BS in Chemistry from the University of Nevada, and studied medicine at the University of Connecticut. She has a professional interest in Hematology-Oncology and medical education, and she hopes to become a doctor in both the modern sense of being a physician, and the Classical sense of embodying docere, to teach.

Truc-Ha strives to build a sound philosophical outlook as a basis for a happy and rich life, a core value she shares with Sunny, her husband. Currently, they also share a large book collection, a unique wedding, an art development and publishing company, and respect for diversity and intelligence. As they enjoy hosting gatherings–with cooking, hiking, port wine, reading plays, Guinness, card or board games, and combinations thereof–the sharp pleasures of good company and brisk, intellectual conversation are memories they look forward to making in the years to come.
