Eventually, the Phans moved to Santa Clara County. Both had to overcome the language barrier and reinvent themselves. “My Dad gave up architecture and became a nuclear engineer. My mom gave up her law degree.” They also opened a French bakery, where Lillian began working at age 15.

Their approach to education was not if we would go to college, but where.” And that was not an easy goal. “My parents had three kids in college at the same time. In order for me to succeed, I had to work. It was not a choice, just part of my life.”
