I’m a financial coach who helps families and professionals reduce money stress by creating clear budgets and practical debt-payoff plans—especially when student loans or young adult finances are involved. As a former math educator, I make money management simple, realistic, and judgment-free. My goal is to help people feel confident, in control, and equipped to make decisions that support long-term independence and peace of mind.
My career began in math education, where I spent decades helping people make sense of numbers and build confidence through learning. Over the years, I worked with teachers and families who were doing their best to manage money but still felt stressed and overwhelmed—especially when supporting adult children or juggling debt and student loans.
That experience showed me it’s not just about earning more—it’s about having a plan that works. I became a Ramsey Preferred Financial Coach to help families gain clarity, create practical budgets, tackle debt, and guide young adults toward financial independence—so parents can feel confident that their children are set up for success and their own finances remain secure.
