Khanh is a marketing student who is fluent in Vietnamese and English. She has stated that she is an avowed eco-activist.

Nguyen was born and raised in Bến Tre, a coastal province located in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. The region was the spotlight of her video for the 2018 pageant, as the Vietnamese beauty spoke about an ongoing project to protect the ecological resources of the Mekong river and those local areas which depend upon it for survival.
