My Work: Member Services Coordinator

My Roots: I’m what they call a G.R.I.T (Girl Raised in the South)! Born and raised in South Carolina.

My Passion: Helping families and individuals work through hard changes in their lives. I have a background in Social Work so I have been in a helping profession for over 10 years and now being able to really navigate helping families understand their finances.

My Hero: The women in my family. They have all played a major role in the growth and independence of who I am today.

My Favorite Personal Finance Resource: My favorite resource is a person. I love The Budgetnista (@thebudgetnista on IG)! She is just so relatable and very transparent about finances and how she got to where she is today. She has been very helpful to me in really putting my own financial goals together.

What led you to AFCPE? I love the mission of this organization.  I became aware of AFCPE as I was looking to add more certifications as a financial coach. As a knowledge seeker, being a part of the organization that helps financial coaches like myself keep our skills up to date was a major plus to my desire to grow and learn in this field.

What are you most excited about in your new role? I’m most excited about bringing forth some new ideas to our members that can diversify what financial education is and help to continue to foster educational opportunities for our newer community members.

What question do you have for the AFCPE community? What more would you like to see in our community? How can we continue to make our community more diversified?
