About Me
When I started college, my financial situation was far from ideal. My credit score was in the 500s, I had no savings, and my parents weren’t able to help with college costs. I had committed to a private university in Southern California (across the country from my home in Chicago) with only a partial scholarship, meaning I’d be taking on significant student debt.
Knowing I would graduate owing a substantial amount, I made it my mission to manage my finances as strategically as possible. Working on campus allowed me to start making interest-only payments on my student loans to keep my debt from snowballing and build my credit score. Every small payment I made was an investment in my financial future. By the time I graduated, carrying $100,000 in private student loan debt, my improved credit score allowed me to refinance my loans at a 3% interest rate, saving me tens of thousands of dollars over time.
That experience transformed my perspective on money. I realized that financial literacy isn’t just about numbers—it’s about understanding how small, intentional decisions can change your financial future.
That’s where my passion for personal finance began, and now, I help others take control of their money with clarity, confidence, and a plan that works for their lives.
My Coaching Style
Flexible—
Meeting you where you are, on your terms
I believe financial coaching should work around your schedule and your life. That’s why I offer a range of options, from regular coaching calls to a self-guided course, so you can choose what fits your needs and time commitment. You’ll gain practical financial knowledge that you can apply for a lifetime, with the flexibility to come back anytime with questions as your life and goals evolve. Every plan is personalized to fit your unique financial situation, goals, and comfort level, ensuring you get the support you need, when you need it.
Accessible—
Understanding your finances is easier than it seems—you just need the right guidance. I start by getting to know what you already understand and what you want to learn, so we can focus on what truly matters to you. My goal is to break down intimidating financial concepts into clear, actionable steps, giving you the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions. I’m not here to sell products or push a one-size-fits-all solution—just to educate and empower you to take control of your money on your own terms.
