It really has been a long journey 'till I knew that I wanted to be a financial advisor. I was born and raised in China, and my family and I, we went through a lot.
From there, I just knew there was a greater future for me than being born and being raised in a third-world country. So that really opened the door for me to see what a first world looks like for me—as a little girl, I always, always wanted to have that.
And at that moment, I wanted to be part of this first world because I deserved it. So fast forward, I went and got myself an MBA in England—and then got a job offer here in this country as a business consultant.
So, I start my life here in this country just a little over 20 years ago. From there, fast forward seven years into that consulting work, a few of my best friends actually all got laid off from the tech company.
That moment really woke me up. Here is a huge change in their life that they were not asking for. From that point, I just knew—there's something I wanted to do for them.
I can use all the experience I have as a business consultant working for the Fortune 500 companies. I can help you as individuals, as business owners.
