Ever since I can remember I’ve loved to be on stage - whether I was reading at a wedding, performing in a play, or sharing an inspirational message. Over the last nine years, I’ve grown my speaking skills from informal workshop presentations to conference keynotes reaching hundreds. With engaging stories, practical tips, and inspirational messaging, I show people how to take the stress out of money conversations with those they love.

What makes me unique?
I put my heart and soul into every presentation that I give - whether I’m helping people better communicate about money with their partner, find their money personality, or live a more generous life. I truly believe that what we do with our money matters. Working with a financial coach transformed the way I see my money as well as how I use it every day. I know that getting on the same page with your partner about money can improve every facet of your relationship.
While I still appreciate the opportunity to present in-person, I’ve found that I really enjoy speaking online. After designing and offering over 50 online webinars, workshops, and keynotes, I know how to bring high energy, interactivity, and engagement into an online presentation space.
I weave inspirational stories, many from my own life, throughout my presentations to help participants reflect on where they are today and where they’d like to be. I invite them to take a step back so they can take a more confident step forward. Visualizing where you want to go is often the first step to getting there.
Inspiration is wonderful - but only if it is grounded in practical tips. There is a lot of financial guidance that isn’t grounded in real life experience. I meet people where they are and offer them small, concrete steps they can easily use to build their financial confidence.
I’m an educator, not an advisor. I’m here to help people break down complicated financial topics and make sense of their financial life, not sell them an investment or a financial product. My only vested interest is the learning and development of the people I serve.
I’m not afraid to say “I don’t know.” When I receive a question, I’m open about what I do and don’t know. If I don’t know the answer, I do the necessary research and get back to the participant in a timely manner. As an educator, I’m always learning. I create a space where any question is welcome and no one needs to pretend that they know more than they do. Creating that vulnerable space begins with me.
