Kathy Chao Rothberg was born in Laos and later emigrated with her family as political refugees to America in 1978 at the age 7. She subsequently became a U.S. citizen in 1985.

Chao Rothberg attended WCCUSD schools: Fairmont, Portola, and El Cerrito High. She graduated from UC Berkeley, attended Golden Gate University’s Executive MBA Program in San Francisco, and graduated from the Sierra Health Foundation-USC Health Leadership Fellowship Program.

She has also served on a number of local boards, commissions, and committees.
