I’m a project manager by day and a budget nerd by night. I coach people on YNAB part-time, but I have a background in behavior change, psychology, and public health. Since 2011 I’ve moved from the USA to Spain to England, so I know my way around multi-currency budget situations, saving for a big move, and stretching a small income. I’m a self-taught YNABer, so when it comes to troubleshooting, I’ve likely been there, too! Hablo español también :)

I make budgeting fun! It’s a judgement free zone with me, and I’ll never make you feel stupid for not knowing something. I can be your biggest cheerleader or give you some tough love and tell it to you straight, it just depends on what motivates you to make a change. After each session I’ll give you tangible tasks to do so that you can see your progress and then we’ll review it together.

It sounds so cliche, but I just love helping people feel at peace with their financial situation. I didn’t have much guidance when it came to figuring out finances as an adult, so being able to help people who need to get over the YNAB learning curve is very rewarding for me.
