Petula Moy was born and raised in Hong Kong. At that time, Hong Kong was still a British colony. The majority of the citizens were Chinese who primarily speaks Cantonese on their daily life interactions. Hong Kong was considered as the Pearl of the Orient. Hong Kong is one of the major international financial centers in the world but it is a highly competitive environment for any children to grow up in. She was educated in Chinese literature and Chinese history but also learned English in the school system.

Her journey in America started in 1975 when she was immigrated with her family to America as a teenager. Even though she had learned English in Hong Kong, English is still a second language for her. She did experience cultural shock because America was not as expected as what she saw in the American movies. She attended 10th Grade in High School. English was a language barrier for her. She had overcome many challenges in life during the early years as an immigrant. When she decided to go away to college at University of Virginia, she felt it might be a good way to weave into the American culture. After four years, she graduated with BS Degree in Nursing with Distinction. She worked as registered nurse and also held numerous management positions during her nursing career over 20 years.

One of the highlights of her nursing career was when she cared for the sickest patients in Intensive Care Unit. These patients are struggling with their life threatening serious medical conditions. She had comforted the most stressed family members with their loved one’s serious condition and possibility of dying. She had grown to be strong emotionally for their patients and families.

She developed a large network of strategic partners and center of influence. She has earned a reputation of being knowledgeable and trustworthy. She continued to grow her insurance agency. However, due to family obligation, she had to make a tough decision of selling her agency after 10 years of operations.

When her family obligation was lessened, she was ready to return to the workplace in full capacity. She chose financial service which provides more resources to her clients. In financial services, she relates to her clients in a deeper meaningful relationship. She discusses their personal financial goals and dreams in life. It’s quite gratifying when she can provide financial solutions to help them achieve their goals and fulfill their dreams.

She treasured every life stage experience; each career has shaped her character as a compassionate and trustworthy person. She is fortune that with both her careers that she can help people - with first career, she helped people with their health and now she is helping people with their wealth. In life, people need both health and wealth to live a quality life. Today, even though she is very busy with her financial and insurance career, she makes time to give back to the community.
