Nhi Aron­heim stands at only four feet, nine inch­es tall, but her sto­ry is immense. Sev­er­al antholo­gies, includ­ing Ken­tucky Women: Two Cen­turies of Indomitable Spir­it and Vision, and a doc­u­men­tary aired on PBS, Viet­nam 101, have pro­filed her har­row­ing jour­ney as a child refugee who escaped war-torn Viet­nam in search of the Amer­i­can dream. Nhi worked for four years as a telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions con­sul­tant, dur­ing which time she met and mar­ried a Jew­ish man and con­vert­ed to Judaism in 2004. Nhi has two beau­ti­ful chil­dren who she has raised to embrace Viet­namese and Jew­ish cul­tures. After tran­si­tion­ing to sales and mar­ket­ing in the mort­gage indus­try — where Nhi worked for over six­teen years — she retired from the mort­gage indus­try as a mar­ket­ing spe­cial­ist at the age of forty-one to have oppor­tu­ni­ties to pay it for­ward. Next to her fam­i­ly, Nhi’s pas­sion is to make a pos­i­tive dif­fer­ence in people’s lives. She vol­un­teers as a medi­a­tor for courts and the Bet­ter Busi­ness Bureau in Col­orado, in addi­tion to being an inter­preter. Want­i­ng to improve her pub­lic speak­ing skill, Nhi has been an active mem­ber of Toast­mas­ters for over five years where she has held posi­tions as Pres­i­dent, V.P. of Pub­lic Rela­tions and V.P. of Edu­ca­tion for her chap­ter.
