As I was growing up, there were several people in my life over the age of 60 who needed a little extra assistance. I enjoyed doing errands for them and listening to their stories. They would tell me about their lives, their kids, their struggles and their dreams.

As I grew to adulthood, my desire to support people in achieving their dreams increased. My career experience in banking and healthcare gave me the opportunity to talk through the most confidential and complex aspects of people's lives. We navigated together the ups and downs that life can throw our way and explored options to create a plan for their tomorrow.

When it was my turn and life through me a curveball, I had no money in the bank, two small children and no family in town to help support me. Cash flow planning... What was that?! I was too proud to ask for help and didn't let people know what I was going through. I figured out how to manage my money while focusing on my goals and providing for my family.

Not wanting other people to go through what I did, understanding life's challenges, prioritizing on what's most important and continuing to aspire to have a better life for myself and my children have all led me to where I am today... Fulfilling my passion for enhancing others' lives and making a difference!
