Like many Americans, I struggled with money management. I lacked discipline and control around spending, resulting in high credit card debt and loans which crippled my finances and caused feelings of stress, hopelessness and shame. I made it a priority to learn how money worked and develop healthy money habits. As I got control of my financial life over the years I encountered many others who were also trying to do better with money and I helped teach and guide them. Teaching and motivating others lights up my day. I absolutely love giving others the skills and motivation to improve their financial lives and watching them grow and do incredible things!

What is a social cause you feel passionately about, and why is it meaningful to you? Building houses for people in need. Organizations like Habitat For Humanity help families in need get stable and affordable housing. With this housing comes financial counseling to ensure the recipients gain the knowledge and skills necessary to have continued financial stability. I believe that every family deserves affordable and safe housing as a baseline for having a stable life.
