Meet Your Coach
Money was more than numbers in my household. It was a lesson, a tool, and a responsibility.
​​Before I even started school, my mom had already taught me how to balance a checkbook and recite my 2-times tables. Math quickly became my favorite subject, and numbers became my comfort zone. I started saving money in the 6th grade thanks to my parents’ early lessons about preparing for a rainy day.
My dad would challenge me to think about the value behind every dollar. He showed me that money isn’t just about what you buy it’s about quality and what it may costs to maintain. A car, for example, isn't just a car; it's gas, insurance, maintenance, and long-term planning.
​
Those lessons shaped how I saw the world and naturally led me to study Accounting at Tennessee State University, where I earned my degree in Business Administration and Accounting. From there, I dove headfirst into corporate America, working for several Fortune 500 companies and holding roles from AP Specialist to Senior Accountant.
​
​Even with a stable career and a promising path, I knew I was meant to do more. I wanted to make an impact. All things clicked when I read The Black Girl’s Guide to Financial Freedom by Paris Woods. For the first time, I saw my passion clearly: helping others transform the way they view and use money, just like I was taught to do. I realized that financial freedom isn’t reserved for a select few, it’s something we can all access when we’re given the right tools and mindset.

The Mission
Beyond the Sessions
I’m a sister, friend, auntie, dog mom, and woman of faith.
​
When I’m not teaching money with passion and purpose, you’ll find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, catching a flight to explore somewhere new, signing up for a dance class, or curled up on the couch with my pup Champ to binge watch Netflix and quoting movie lines like it’s my job.
​
I was raised in the church, and I deeply believe that God is in control of everything including our finances. That faith grounds me and guides the way I serve others. Because I know that the journey to financial freedom is about more than just money it’s about trust, transformation, and walking in purpose.
​
I started this work because I wanted to be the vessel, voice and support I wish I had when I was figuring out my own money story. Now, I help Black women do the same with clarity, control, and confidence.
