My mission is simple. To help my clients make smart financial decisions so they can be in the position to live the life they want. Every client is different and everyone has different dreams.

As an advisor, I have several primary roles I need to perform for my clients. 1. Listen. My first objective is to truly listen to clients and hear what is important to them so we can work towards the correct objectives. 2. Be knowledgable. This is what you pay me for.

I work with people who are building something their parents couldn't and who've never quite felt like financial planning was built for them. My clients are navigating student debt, supporting family, building wealth for the first time, and trying to make decisions that reflect their values and not just their spreadsheet. They're intentional, they're capable, and they deserve an advisor who meets them where they are. I know that feeling personally. I'm the daughter of Hmong refugees from Laos. My parents came to the U.S. with little more than hope. They worked incredibly hard for our family but never had access to the financial knowledge that makes building wealth possible. That's why I founded Heartworth Financial. Over the past decade, I've built deep experience working with physicians at every stage — residents managing six-figure debt on a training salary, attendings navigating peak earning years, and physicians planning their exit from medicine — alongside first-generation wealth builders, immigrant families, and anyone who has ever walked into a financial conversation feeling like they didn't quite belong there.
