Illuminating Time - Four Oceans, One Family: Kittie Kong

Today, she works in the Office of Equity & Community Engagement of Washington County in Hillsboro. She is also a board member of Portland’s chapter of the Chinese American Citizen’s Alliance and has worked closely with the Asian American Youth Leadership Conference as their college and career fair organizer. She works hard to ensure that folks in the local Asian American community are engaged and have a voice.
