Petula Moy was born in Hong Kong. She immigrated to America with her family when she was a teenager. As a young Chinese immigrant with English as a second language, she experienced cultural shock, confusion, and uncertainty. However, through the encouragement of her mother promised Petula that America was filled with new opportunities, hopes and dreams.
 

In order to explore the American culture, Petula attended the University of Virginia where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She worked as a registered nurse and held various healthcare management positions as her first career path.
