A Speaker that Makes Finances Simpler for Everyone
Audience members come away feeling capable, empowered, and educated.
My presentations on finance ignites my audience to take that one small step in ensuring their finances are aligned to their values and goals.
When something feels distant or intimidating, understanding even one piece can create momentum.
That first “aha” moment sparks curiosity, better questions, and a domino effect of positive change.

“I appreciate your presentations and you helping me understand all of the financial aid stuff. It really helped motivate me to learn how to save and invest for my future. I appreciate what you do for students like me who do not know anything about finances.”
– Matthew S.
My Journey to Speaking
A presentation at Emory University to Resident Assistants is the inception of my career in speaking. I was working in Residence Life at the time and the training coordinator needed some non-housing related topics. I had just done a deep dive on credit scores so I figured I’d present on that topic!
The room was overfilled with students. I learned two things: there is a large information gap and there is a hunger to learn it. The students that attended that presentation started pulling up their own credit scores – something they had never done before. Even more impactful, they started sharing it with their families.
I eventually shifted roles to the Office of Financial Aid and while there, felt inspired to advocate for an organization dedicated to teaching outside of the classroom. The Emory Financial Literacy group was born from that advocacy and is still around today.
I also presented for the Soldiers under my command in the 1214th Forward Support Company in the Georgia National Guard. The Army pivoted from pensions to 401(k)’s and Soldiers had to decide which one to opt into, and I helped guide them.
I have also presented to the Latino Student Organization on budgeting basics and understanding how credit cards worked.
