Hmongshee was born and raised in central WI, which she is still located. She attended University of Wisconsin Stevens Point and earned a Bachelors Degree in Healthcare Administration, but always had a passion in community health. Since graduating her focus has been on health equity such as advocating and uplifting marginalized populations in rural communities to improve health.

Recognizing that health disparities widened during the pandemic, Hmongshee began working with immigrant communities in central WI to assist in bettering access to health services. While advocating for the community, she also noticed a lack of diversity and sustainability in the Community Health workforce

Partnering with other Community Health Workers (CHWs) has motivated Hmongshee to empower rural CHWs and support them by having conversations with leadership about improving workforce development in Community Health. Hmongshee hopes to provide more support for CHWs through her role with Envision and MATCH. She is also proud to be a part of the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Advisory Committee, where she can be a voice for CHWs and rural marginalized communities.
