My path to this work hasn’t followed a single, traditional lane. I’m a transplant to Mid-Michigan from Detroit, by way of Washington, D.C. Along the way, I’ve had the good fortune to hold many titles in this life:

Author | Doula | Military Spouse | Mom | Project Manager | Regional Director | Healthcare Consultant | Financial Accountability Partner | Professor | Mentor

Each of these roles has shaped the way I think about money, opportunity, and the systems that influence our financial lives. My experiences, both personal and professional, have taught me that financial knowledge alone isn’t enough. People need encouragement, practical tools, and sometimes a little accountability to move forward

I like to use my knowledge, humor, and (occasionally) a bit of firmness to help people improve their relationship with money. I sometimes joke that you could add matchmaker to my list of credentials--but only between people and a little more moolah.

Over the years, I’ve mentored dozens of students and young professionals, helping them navigate the complexities of personal finance and make decisions that support their long-term goals.

If you’ve ever wished you had a trusted voice in your corner to help you think through money decisions, offer encouragement, and occasionally give you a gentle push in the right direction--consider this an invitation to meet me, your FinanSis!
