Areas of Specialty

After years of working in higher education, a college campus is one place I always feel at home. I love university life and what it offers. College is so much more than just going to classes and the academics, it’s the experiences, the growing up, the relationships that are built, and it is the most accessible way for people to have higher income-earning opportunities.

I am really passionate about college planning and student loan repayment because of the impact that it has on both the student and their family. When this is planned well, it can help set up a young adult for financial freedom. When it is done poorly, it can have ramifications that last for years.  

I also enjoy helping individuals with real estate and other alternative investments. I work with people of all backgrounds, but have a special place in my heart for members of the LGBTQQIA community, immigrants, and first-generation college students, higher ed professionals, and medical practitioners.

Background:

Fueled by an insatiable curiosity for understanding systems, I’ve always had a passion for entrepreneurship and finance. Over my nearly 25-year career in higher education, managing student housing and fostering student development, I discovered my love for continual learning and sharing knowledge. About a decade ago, I ventured into real estate investing, which organically evolved into educating others on financial literacy and real estate strategies. In 2020, I delved into coding, creating smart contracts and blockchains to enhance my business, and have on occasion served as a consultant for global entrepreneurs within the space.

Now, my ultimate aspiration is to focus exclusively on guiding individuals as a financial planner, creating a comprehensive journey where education, finance, and technological innovations converge to empower others, thus fulfilling my true passion.
