My story

Financial Aid Corporate America Financial Planning

I discovered my passion for helping people with their personal finances in college where I worked in financial aid. I assisted students and parents with navigating the complexities of college planning and witnessed how financial stress has such a huge impact on people's lives.

This experience made me realize how crucial it is to be financially prepared and how important it is to be a financial resource. After graduating college, I worked in Corporate America for 6 years, and in 2023 I decided to pursue my passion to help people with their personal finances.
