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.

I didn't stumble into financial planning. I was drawn to it by a small inheritance, a paperboy route, and a widow who needed help balancing her checkbook. After two decades across multiple firms — seeing the conflicts, the minimums, the overlooked clients — I knew there was a better way. So, I built it. I started Your Path because I believe every generation deserves access to real, honest, planning-first financial guidance — not just those who already have wealth. Your Path exists because I believe planning should come first, not products. Because the best advice is given by someone who is legally and ethically on your side.
