Hi, I’m Emi,
a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional. I am the founder and lead financial planner of MyGen Planning. I am a career changer. I graduated from DePaul University with a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. I transitioned to financial services after 10 years in tax, compliance and risk management roles.
I created MyGen Planning to serve first-generation wealth builders and independent-minded professionals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s—who are building financial security — often for the first time — on their own terms.
I know firsthand the challenges that come with navigating finances without guidance especially as a woman.
I am a first-generation wealth builder, first-generation immigrant, first in my family to graduate college, start a business, and earn more than my parents.
With every “first” came excitement but also uncertainty. Managing money, making financial decisions, and building long-term wealth felt overwhelming—because no one had taught me how.
My parents were incredible role models when it came to budgeting and saving. They showed me the value of living within my means and working hard. But when it came to investing, building wealth, and planning for the future, I had to figure it out on my own. There was no roadmap, and traditional financial services didn’t seem accessible or relatable.
MyGen Planning’s mission is to provide accessible, judgment-free financial guidance so you can take control of your money, build wealth with confidence, and create a future that reflects your hard work and ambition. Whether you’re figuring out how to invest, balance family responsibilities, or break free from financial stress, I’m here to help you feel confident and in control of your money.
