Personal Details

Bio

As a broke college graduate trying to navigate repayment of student loan debt, I quickly realized I was not alone in an overwhelming feeling of helplessness. After attending countless workshops and reading all the personal finance books I could get my hands on, I put into practice what I was learning. Within 10 months of graduation I became student debt free, and realized this was just the beginning of a life long journey to building wealth.

Launched in 2019, my mission with LMF is simple; to help individuals build a life they love. How? By translating confusing and overwhelming financial concepts into clear, actionable steps.

After 4 years of building my business while simultaneously working in Corporate America, my passion motivated me to leave a generous salary and become immersed full-time as Little Miss Finance. Incorporating my personal experience with my professional passion for helping others, I offer financial education through interactive speaking engagements and hands-on workshops.

Understanding Company Benefits

In this type of workshop, I work directly with employees to educate them on the financial benefits they receive through their employer and how they can better understand them in order to properly utilize and build wealth. We'll cover topics such as 401k plans, taxes, paystubs, etc.

Personal Finance 101

It's no secret that none of us learned this in school. Financial wellbeing is just as important as our physical and mental health. In this type of session we go back to the basics to properly understand how to use our money to build a live we love. We'll cover topics such as budgeting, paying off debt, saving, etc.

Investing 101

Being able to properly manage your money is a good start. But you won't get far until you start investing. I understand, investing is unknown and can be scary, especially when there are a thousand people saying a thousand different things. In this type of session I help individuals cut through all the noise and better understand their options to build wealth. We'll cover topics such a retirement investment accounts, stocks + bonds, planning for your future, etc.
