Mina Chang (born October 29, 1984)[1] is an American singer, activist, and former government official. She served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the United States Department of State's Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations from April 2019 until her resignation on November 18, 2019, after NBC News reported that she had falsified her resume with multiple false or misleading claims about her education, charity work, and appearance on a Time magazine cover. Chang also failed to mention that her charity's nonprofit status had been revoked.[2][3]
