Yerim Hahm

Nobody teaches you about money when there's no money to talk about. I grew up in a family without any financial literacy, and that absence stuck with me. It's why I love my role as Associate Wealth Advisor at Brio, and why I care so deeply about the people who are first in their families to access a 401(k) or have a real shot at building wealth. For me, every financial decision should be aimed at each person's version of their ideal life. That's the lens I bring to everything.  

People who know me call me a velvet hammer: honest and direct, but always considerate about how I say it. That's exactly how I show up for clients, too. I'm one of the first faces you'll see when you come to Brio, helping you get onboarded and making sure your data is right. From there, I work behind the scenes to help make sure your plan actually moves forward. So many people come in feeling lost, just doing what everyone says they should without knowing why. Watching that shift as someone starts to understand how their money works and connect it to their own personal “why” is what I find most meaningful.

Born and raised in New York, I kept moving west until I hit Seattle and decided to stay. I met my husband here, and now we have two dogs (Mika, a border collie, and Watson, a mini Schnauzer) and our newest adventure, baby Theo. On a perfect weekend, you'll find me somewhere in the PNW snowboarding, hiking, camping, or bouldering.
