When I was 18, my father had a sudden heart attack and underwent triple bypass surgery.
During that time, I watched my mother struggle with something I didn’t expect—she didn’t understand their finances.
She didn’t know where accounts were.
She didn’t know how things worked.
And she suddenly had to make important decisions without feeling prepared.
Seeing that level of uncertainty in such a critical moment made a lasting impression on me.
At a young age, I made a quiet promise to myself:
I would always understand my finances—and never feel that unprepared.
That commitment went on to shape my life in meaningful ways. Years later, when I went through a divorce, having a clear understanding of my finances gave me a sense of confidence and stability during an otherwise difficult transition.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with organizations and clients on planning, budgeting, and financial decision-making. I’ve always been drawn to helping people make sense of complex situations and guiding them toward practical, grounded solutions.
And it’s exactly why I do this work today—so no woman feels left out of her own financial life.
