Like most, I was conditioned to go to college, get a degree, and obtain a “good job” so that I could live the proverbial American dream. While that sounded good in theory, my first few years out of college were a financial nightmare. I struggled to pay student loans, consumer and medical debt, and build a life for myself on a mere salary of $23,000 a year. After seeking personal finance education and guidance, I was able to pay off all of my debt, develop healthy money management behaviors, and create a purposeful and profitable career. Over the last 15 years, it has been my mission to help others achieve financial freedom and abundance through financial education programming and one-on-one coaching, and I’d love to help you too.
