Caroline's journey from Paris, France, to Detroit at age five has been extraordinary. A graduate of Walsh College with a BBA in Marketing, she co-founded Thai Feast LLC in 2011. This venture was not just a business but a lifeline for her family, saving them from deportation due to paperwork errors. Creating their specialty frozen gluten-free meals during this challenging time was a beacon of hope, a testament to their resilience in the face of adversity, and a story that can inspire us all.
Beyond business, Caroline is a passionate advocate for civic engagement, entrepreneurship, and bridging the generational gap within the Hmong American community.
Today, Caroline remains dedicated to her family while growing restaurant and food retail operations. She also served three years on the board of the nonprofit Michigan Hmong Women's Association.
