After graduating from Notre Dame Law School and briefly working in the legal field, I pivoted to become a military spouse and a homeschooling mom of five. Teaching has been a big part of my life. As CFO of my home, I set out to tackle two sets of law school and undergraduate loans. YNAB was the main tool that helped me gain clarity on my family's financial state, which allowed us to budget monthly to pay off debt and save for the future. Now I teach YNAB so that my clients can budget, spend, save, and give with purpose.

I can help you organize your financial life as I come alongside you while you set up a YNAB budget. I will help you discern your fiscal priorities and reflect those in your budget. I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by debt and worried that there's not enough income to get through the month. I've used YNAB for the past twelve years while paying off six figures of debt, navigating military moves and living overseas, and saving for the future. I'll encourage and support you as you learn new budgeting skills and chart a course towards financial freedom.  

I love budgeting and teaching people new skills! As soon as I realized that YNAB was going to be an invaluable resource for getting ahold of my finances I started sharing this gem with others. Over the years I've helped set up budgets and answer questions about YNAB. It's a privilege to be a part of charting a path towards financial clarity and freedom. As a person of faith, I want to spend, save, and give with purpose. I want to encourage others to do the same using the tools and philosophy of YNAB.  I can't wait to help you!
