Real-World, Culturally Relevant Guidance
That Sparks Real Change

Have you been struggling to honor the advice, habits, and lifestyle taught to you by your working-class parents while navigating the corporate world, which operates with a completely different set of rules? I’ve got your back! As a first-gen grad and professional, you might feel at odds with a financial world that feels like it wasn’t designed for you. I’m here to tell you that couldn’t be further from the truth. Not only do I know the ins and outs of investing, but I also intimately understand the experience of being first generation. Trust me to guide you through your financial journey with actionable training, knowledge, and advice that meets you where you are and factors in your lived experience. Let’s secure this bag!

Money Guidance––No Hidden Agenda

Let me help you take your financial future into your own hands with clarity and a solid game plan. During our coaching sessions, I throw out bro-ey jargon and spill all the finance tea, so you get the real, raw information you need to succeed in your life and career. I’m not here to simply make money off of you or to build an audience to push my affiliate links on, I’m here to make a real impact on your life. 

Through one-on-one money coaching, I will teach you the ins and outs of money management, getting out of debt, saving for a down payment, and more! Are you ready to start building generational wealth?

 
 

  • Financial literacy is a form of resistance. Empower yourself by learning how to make smart money choices from the ground up even if you have no idea how to create a budget, save for retirement, or hit your financial goals! With one-on-one coaching, you can finally gain clarity on how to create a financially abundant lifestyle—one step at a time.

  • Learn money management from a finance expert that has your best interest at heart, and the professional background to back it up.

    The truth is many of the leading financial gurus online don’t come from a finance background, nor have the qualifications to guide you through your financial journey. While some may have good intentions, they aren’t certified to give you money advice, or guidance.

    Between reading over 50 finance books, earning a BA in Economics, adding on a certificate in investment performance measurement, teaching financial literacy for 2 years as a volunteer financial educator, and amassing over 10 years of experience in financial services, I’ve dedicated myself to the personal finance space.

    Everything I will teach you in our coaching sessions comes from personal, professional, and university experience (and a genuine desire to uplift my community).

  • I get busy cutting right to the good stuff when it comes to money coaching. I break down complex money concepts and meet you where you are so that you can apply your lessons as they come. Are you ready to take action today? If yes, I’m the mentor for you!

  • Your family wants the best for you, but sometimes their mindset around money and career doesn’t translate into the corporate world. Mindsets around how you should or shouldn’t spend your money, obligations to financially support family members, and judgment around spending too much or too little money to show your wealth can make everything even more stressful and confusing. I can walk you through navigating tough conversations, boundaries, and mindset shifts you might be struggling with as a first-generation student, grad, or professional.
