MEET HOL GUEST: Alina Amkhavong
In episode 3 of HOL, Alina Amkhavong joins host Rita Phetmixay for a conversation about the strength of single mothers/parents, creating the brand name “Bless Her Hustle,” and how she landed her first job post-grad working with the Los Angeles Clippers Basketball team!
Alina graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Non-Governmental Organizations & Social Change and a minor in Occupational Science. Her college career provided her with years of hands-on experience in nonprofit management, community engagement, and youth services work. She hopes to continue working in the public or educational sector post-college! Alina is a bright young star in our Lao American community and strives to continue to put Lao folx on the map. Not only is she brilliant academically, she is also a spoken word artist, a creative writer and travels internationally to play rugby.
