Passionate About...
Investing Student Loans Under/Unbanked

With over twenty years in education, I focus on expanding financial literacy, particularly for young people. At Da Vinci Communications, I pioneered the district’s first college readiness and financial literacy curriculum. I also gained hands-on financial planning experience through an externship with Amplified Planning. As a former NFL athlete, I later transitioned into educational leadership, serving as an assistant principal in Los Angeles and Houston schools. I hold administrative service and teaching credentials, with degrees from The University of Iowa (B.A.) and Harvard University (Ed.M.)
