Kazoua joined Lao Family as a Case Manager in the On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program in October 2014. Before working in employment service, she worked with low-income communities, helping them access affordable and subsidized housing. Her efforts and commitment to Lao Family have paid off greatly, as she received multiple promotions, which brought her to her next position as the Program Manager of the Victim Services Program. Her current position is the Director of Family Support Services.

Growing up in a large immigrant family with 12 siblings, Kazoua knew from a young age that she wanted to serve her community. Seeing firsthand some of her parents’ challenges motivated her to strive for educational and employment success.

Kazoua strives to do well for herself and her program participants. Her goal is to continue to use her knowledge and skills to help the community achieve financial self-sufficiency.
