My journey with money began early, rooted in learnings from my family and a service-oriented church community. As a teenager, I started tithing on every dollar I earned. That practice of giving is where my financial discipline truly began, and it remains a non-negotiable part of my life today. Knowing your numbers isn't just about accumulating wealth — it's about gaining the confidence to plan for the life events, causes, and generosity that matter most to you.

I've always had a passion for math and data. Throughout high school, college, and graduate school, I fell in love with teaching and tutoring. I love taking complex financial concepts and making them simple and understandable. I studied engineering and data science, and began my career working in big tech. As a data scientist I use data to build predictive models and drive decision making — data offers us that same power in our finances.

I don't just teach these principles; I live them. After graduate school, I applied these data-driven strategies to hit the ground running. In just a few short years, I paid off my student loans, purchased a home, and became an out-of-state real estate investor. Financial independence has always been important to me, and by maximizing my income I achieved Coast FIRE along the way.

I was drawn to financial advising because I love the numbers, but I care even more about the people behind them. I have seen the power of careful planning, benefit optimization, and financial awareness in my own life. I strive to bring the same knowledge, care, and impact to each of my clients.
