Years ago, I had the unfortunate event of losing my mother too early (she was only 43 years old) to Stage 4 Colon Cancer. I am the oldest of three and had been given a huge responsibility of taking care of my two younger siblings and the home my single mother worked so hard to provide for us. During that time I had to learn more than the little I had learned from my mother about finances (like how to maintain a house hold with two dependents). Needless to say those years were the toughest years of my life. Based off of what I learned and all those I had learned from, I wanted to help as many individuals and families prepare for anything that life may throw at them. Feel confident that they left their loved ones in the best possible position to succeed in life. My mission is to provide communities with financial literacy and the resources needed to prepare for a better future for themselves and their family legacy. I am here to share what I know and empower others with financial education. We all strive for financial independence and to leave our loved ones in the best case scenario. Let us work together to help as many families as possible to achieve this ultimate vision!
