Hello Amazing WA community!

My name is Hà and I am a proud Vietnamese - American living in Maitland, Florida. I teach, demonstrate, and share how to make Vietnamese food. My favorite hobby is rock climbing indoor and outdoor.

My WA anniversary date was July 11, 2017. I am updating my profile September 21, 2017. After reading many inspiring profiles since I joined, I thought I should share more about myself to my new community and wonderful new friends. This will be my perfect journal to document my life before WA and my successes at WA.

Looking back at my life, I realized that I have accomplished a lot more than I thought. I worked at many jobs and wore many hats from being a waitress, newspaper carrier, etc and up to a Special Digital Effect Sequence supervisor. I love computers so it became my specialty, creating special effects using computer graphics. I also dabbled in real estate investments.

After my children were born, I quit my money making job and became a stay at home mom. Thanks to my dedicated, generous, and loving husband, I was able to stay home full time. Our real estate investment also helped out financially. While being a stay at home mom, I published a Vietnamese cookbook and did a handful of cooking demonstrations to promote my cookbooks.

In 2008, the real estate bubble broke and our investment went along with many others down the drain. We were also scammed by many other investments as well. Huge lesson learned and totally gun shy about investments. I lost trust in others and especially in myself to make the right decision. We totally had to start over from scratch.

With two young children at the time, we moved across country from California to Florida and started life all over again. It was very similar to what my parents did but not as extreme. My parents took six children and traveled half way across the world (from Vietnam to America) and started a new life. That is yet another story...

While my husband works for a company to support the family, I work different part time jobs and become an entrepreneur. I created Pho Queen Cooking to sell my cookbooks and demonstrated Vietnamese cooking. I created new products - a peanut sauce called Magic Monkey and Magic Dragon sauces. They sell very slowly. I created a website called www.PhoQueenCooking.com to help promote it. Alas, I knew very little about internet marketing and I didn't create the time to learn.

My husband has a dream to have his own company in creating virtual reality, a space to inspire people to be who they want to be in life and live life to the fullest. However he feels that his dream would have to wait because his family's welfare and finance should be met first. I am touched and inspired by his abundance of love and concerns for me and our children. I want to find away to help make his dream come true.

In search of ways to make more money, I came across WA and I thought this would be a perfect place to learn and apply them to my existing website. My goal is to be the provider of my family and allow my husband to bring his dream into reality. I look forward to a successful journey at WA.
