LINH CHRISTINE LAO

My name is Linh Lao and I commit to supporting you and helping others around you. I was born and raised in Vancouver, WA by two incredible hard working  immigrant parents. My mom and dad came over during the Vietnam War wanting a better life and wanted a fresh start for our family. My dad was in the union for construction, while my mom was a stay home mom raising my 4 siblings and I. At a young age I realized the value of a dollar, we all worked whenever we could.

As I graduated high school, I went onto Washington State University and got my bachelors degree in Economics Science. I worked my way through college at small businesses with serving and bartending. At this point in my life, I found a passion for the hospitality industry. I continued my passion for serving people by going into management at a restaurant for 2+ years. When the pandemic hit, it was hard in the restaurant industry. We were faced with many challenges and many struggles. During this time I was ready for a change for myself and wanted to help others on a bigger scale.
