As a recognized academic leader with two decades of experience driving academic institutional operations, I've leveraged my expertise to continually deliver excellence in the realm of academic administration, classroom instruction, and professional development. I've delivered a range of impacts over the course of my career.

I hold a Bachelors in Business Science Management, two Masters degrees in Education and Leadership, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership.

Most recently, I developed this curriculum to educate our youth and families about financial literacy.

I am a proud mom to two boys, who I homeschooled for over ten years. We often played games to strengthen their knowledge about financial decision making, smart money moves, and creating a financial legacy.

I am honored to serve and give back to the community through education, workshops, and summer camps.

With a degree from the University of California, San Diego, I began building businesses at just 23 years old. Over the past 17 years, my most meaningful achievement has been helping families break free from the burden of debt—an effort that has positively transformed thousands of lives. What began as practical debt‑payoff coaching has grown into a broader mission: restoring hope and empowering individuals to believe in their financial future.

A key differentiator in my work is a highly selective client approach and an exclusive product line, both designed to deliver personalized experiences and exceptional results. This tailored model allows me to support clients with the depth and attention their financial goals deserve.

I homeschooled my four children from preschool through eighth grade.  I loved teaching them foundational principles that would guide them no matter how learning methods and seasons of life changed. That experience reinforced my belief that financial education must begin early—and that kids thrive when they are taught real‑world money skills in a clear and practical way.

At the center of everything I do is a deep commitment to financial literacy. I believe that equipping children with essential money management habits lays the groundwork for lifelong confidence and independence. Our philosophy is simple: give them the tools to succeed on their own. It’s not about offering a fish for a day—it’s about teaching them how to fish for a lifetime.

Why We Started Wealthy Whiz Kids™

As homeschool parents and educators, we noticed something missing in traditional education: children were learning math, reading, and science, but not how money actually works in real life.

We saw families working hard, yet feeling unprepared to talk about budgeting, saving, or long-term planning with their children. We also saw kids curious about money, asking big questions, and wanting responsibility, but lacking age-appropriate guidance.

So we created Wealthy Whiz Kids™ to bridge that gap.

Our goal was simple: make financial literacy clear, engaging, and family-centered. We wanted lessons that spark conversation at the kitchen table, build confidence instead of fear, and teach children that money is a tool; one that can be used wisely, generously, and intentionally.

Wealthy Whiz Kids

“The earlier we teach financial wisdom, the longer it grows.”

The program introduces age-appropriate money concepts:

  • Grades 1–5: Learn the 4 Jars (Save, Spend, Share, Invest)

  • Grades 6–8: Practice decision-making, goal-setting, and earning

  • Grades 9–12: Explore entrepreneurship, credit, and compound growth

Each level connects classroom learning to real family conversations, helping parents and students see how money choices today shape future freedom.
