Her background includes working in social services, reviewing policies, creating, and implementing programs that empower local communities, and capacity-building initiatives. In her down time, Paja enjoys walking with her dog, giving back to the Hmong community, and spending time reading or watching movies.

Paja will present on Hmong Culture. Listen as she shares about the history of the Hmong people, their culture, and why Minnesota became the home for the largest population of Hmong people in the United States.
