I'm a first generation college graduate with degrees in biochemistry and accounting.  I was employed for almost a decade until priorities changed and I became a stay at home parent due to health concerns with my children.  I have applied my budgeting skills to manage the family finances, at times not using the right tools! In 2018, while fighting PTSD and depression YNAB came back to our lives to give our family the budgeting peace and calm it needed. Since then, YNAB has allowed us to thrived as a single income household.

Hi, I am glad you are here! If you have avoided budgets before you have come to the right place, I believe there's a lot to learn about the things we are avoiding. I am a highly organized and analytical person, I will help you design a budget that is just right for your goals and shorten the learning curve (I gave up on YNAB the 1st time I tried). It is ok to feel overwhelm and not know here to start, with your commitment together we will get your financial house in order one YNAB rule at a time!

Growing up I saw how my parents and family worked hard for their income but they lacked the knowledge to manage it, and continued to live paycheck to paycheck. Not everyone likes numbers and budgeting as much as I do, coaching allows me to applied the budgeting skills I have learned to teach others to organize and take control of their finances. YNAB's simple method has changed the way our family finances are managed, it has allowed us to dream bigger and I would love to share that with you.
