Ada Nguyen is a dedicated professional with a rich academic and professional background, complemented by her deep passion for empowering others through education and financial literacy. She holds double bachelor's degrees in Finance and Accounting, which laid the groundwork for her expertise in financial management and strategic planning. With over eight years of experience in the corporate sector, Ada excelled in roles requiring financial analysis, budgeting, and leadership, earning a reputation as a trusted and strategic professional.

While advancing her corporate career, Ada and her husband, who holds an extraordinary three Ph.D. degrees in MBA, Educational Leadership, and Healthcare Management, co-founded a tutoring business. This entrepreneurial venture not only allowed Ada to apply her financial expertise to business operations but also provided her with an avenue to pursue her passion for education. Inspired by their shared commitment to community improvement, they created a platform that fosters academic excellence and personal growth for students of all ages.

Recognizing the value of continuous learning, Ada pursued an MBA with a focus in Accounting, further enhancing her leadership skills and deepening her financial knowledge. After many years of corporate success, Ada discovered her true calling: working with children and fostering a brighter future, particularly within the Vietnamese community. Over the past 15 years, she has dedicated herself to tutoring and mentoring children, helping them develop the skills and confidence needed to thrive academically and personally.

During this time, Ada identified a critical gap in traditional education—financial literacy. Many young individuals lacked essential skills such as budgeting, saving, and wealth-building. To address this, Ada expanded her mission to include hosting financial literacy classes for both children and adults. Her classes teach children how to budget effectively and adopt a wealth mindset, preparing them for lifelong financial success. For adults, Ada provides essential education on retirement planning, family financial protection, and strategies to achieve financial independence.

With her husband’s extensive academic expertise and her shared commitment to education and financial empowerment, Ada’s work has become a cornerstone of community development. Together, they strive to build intergenerational wealth and financial freedom for families, ensuring that knowledge and prosperity are passed down for years to come.

Ada’s vision is clear: to uplift her community through financial education, empower individuals to achieve stability and freedom, and create a lasting legacy of wealth and knowledge for future generations
