I’m passionate—okay, obsessed—with personal finance and the transformative impact it has on your life. Whether you’re a high school student stepping into adulthood or an adult trying to finally feel confident with money, I believe financial education is the ultimate key to freedom, empowerment, and making your dreams happen.
My personal finance journey began with my own struggles. Like so many, I entered adulthood unprepared for the financial realities of life. College gave me a degree, but it didn’t give me the tools to thrive financially. After a rough transition from college to adulthood with no financial knowledge, I became determined to ensure others wouldn’t face the same challenges.
In 2009, I became a high school teacher to bring financial education to those who needed it most. For 7 years, I crammed personal finance lessons into my AP Macroeconomics class, reaching over 240 students annually. But that wasn’t enough for me—I wanted to go bigger. In 2019, I launched Personal Finance: Dream, Plan, Execute, Thrive, a year-long elective course that combines money skills, goal-setting, and career exploration to help students crush adulthood.
In 2024, I left the classroom to expand my reach beyond high school students. Now, I work with people of all ages who are ready to ditch financial stress and start thriving. I guide them to shift their money mindset, master life-changing strategies, and finally take control of their finances. This new chapter also gives me time to volunteer in my daughter’s first-grade classroom while living my dream of empowering others to succeed.
Here’s the truth: personal finance isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s about creating a life you love. Money is the tool that makes your wildest dreams possible, and I’m here to help you make it happen. Let’s do this!
