My mother is a visionary, the original queen of leveraging credit and effectively managing money. Those traits were definitely passed on to me. From an early age, I was always interested in making money and saving. You can easily say I was a money hoarder. By the age of five, I had saved $50 by keeping money in my sock drawer. By 16, I had saved my first $10,000 and bought a brand new car. By the age of 17, I started college and paid my first car off. Those early years were the building blocks that led me to the strategist I am today. Now, I live by the philosophy “there’s power in exposure” and my purpose, under the umbrella of finance, is to expose clients to the knowledge I’ve gathered from investing, strategizing, building businesses, and my years of financial coaching.
