My Journey

I was among the millions of U.S. workers who found that 2020 was the year of the career pivot. As a member of the hotel & hospitality industry, which was wracked by pandemic-related layoffs, I was faced with the reality that the industry isn’t expected to make a full recovery until 2024. I had expected to stay in hospitality for the balance of my working years and then suddenly found myself asking, “Where else can I go?” I entered the world of exploring what was next for me. 

My next steps were unclear. But I find change to be exciting and positive – the “problem” in my career actually became an opportunity for something far better. 

My path to financial coaching came out of necessity. It was my own financial challenges that led to my career in financial coaching. 

Determined to reduce my financial stress, I enrolled in Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University (FPU). I began learning everything I could about personal finance and money management.

Applying the lessons I learned, I reevaluated my financial picture, and got laser-focused on my money goals. I followed a budgeting method that allowed me to stay on top of monthly expenses, live the lifestyle I desired, and plan for future financial goals.

My passion for becoming financially free grew into a desire to help others. I enrolled in Dave Ramsey’s Financial Coach Master Training, earning my Certification to identify, understand, and resolve my clients’ needs.

The hits to Americans’ financial security keep on coming, first with the devastating coronavirus pandemic, followed by 40-year-high inflation and now the growing risk of another downturn. 

They’re looking for help. For many, this has been a caution light. People are drained from barely getting by. They’re ready to make a plan for their money.

But they don’t know where to start. They need help. And guess what? The answer could be a financial coach.
