Ambassadors

Lisa Chang started Hula Halau ‘Ohana Holo‘oko‘a (Hula School Where Everyone is Family) with one adult hula class in 1998 when she was asked to teach by the Portland based Nā Hawai‘i club.  In 2006 she gave up her 20-year career as a pharmacist to follow her passion of sharing hula & Tahitian dance with her community.  The school is celebrating 25 years and has grown to over 100 students in 13 classes ranging in age from 3 to 90 years old.  Since the pandemic she now has students across the U.S.  Lisa loves sharing the aloha spirit and the inclusivity you feel when learning about hula and the Hawaiian culture.  She looks forward welcoming students of all ages, genders, nationalities and experience levels to join their hula and Tahitian family.

Lisa has performed professionally since 1989 and helps create Hawaiian cultural events her clients envision.  One of the highlights of her career was taking her dancers to South Korea to perform at the Cheonan World Dance Festival in 2016.  Hula Halau ʻOhana Holoʻokoʻa performs for private, corporate and community events.  Lisa looks forward to bringing a flavor of Hawaiʻi to your next event.

Hello – I'm Tammy Yorba and I've been an Edward Jones client for more than 10 years, and I'm excited to have joined the Edward Jones family. After spending more than 23 years with a major financial institution, I'm ready to take the skills I've gained and use them to directly help people succeed financially!

My husband Steve and I live in Hillsboro, Oregon. We have been together since 2010. I have two grown children, who I get to see and/or interact with daily, and they have given me four handsome and talented grandsons who will absolutely take the world by storm given the chance. Steve and I also have four cats. It's a funny story how we got so many, but they keep our daily life entertaining as you can imagine.

Steve and I like to scuba dive and most of our vacations are to tropical locations where the visibility is far greater than it is in the Pacific Northwest. I'm also an amateur photographer (underwater and above) so I always have pictures aplenty. We like to visit the local wineries and the sake brewery. I also like to hike, get out in the community and volunteer when opportunities arise.

What I want to do:
The greatest pleasures in my life have resulted from helping people, and that's how I'm planning to operate my business as well. This isn't about me; it's about my clients having someone who truly cares about them and will help them stay on top of their finances. I fully believe that success is built in trust. One of my many mantras in life is that it takes a lifetime to build trust, and only a moment to lose it. I will work every day to earn and keep yours!

My Ideal Client:
I want to help people in marginalized communities: whether that means ethnicity (Hablo algo de español ), sexuality, religious beliefs, age, gender, or any other category. I believe all people should be respected and appreciated. All people deserve financial help by someone who respects them. That's why I'm here to help!
