I Did a Thing…
I’ve officially hung up my stethoscope and launched my financial coaching and advisory practice full-time in December 2025!
Just the prior year, my goal was to retire in seven years at age 65.
But, as I grew more confident and knowledgeable, and saw the value and potential of building my own financial practice and impacting more lives, I decided not to wait and accelerated my plans… and now it’s finally here!!
So exciting!!!
What Makes My Practice Different
What makes my practice UNIQUE is not what we do but who we do it for: hardworking professionals and middle-income families.
AND what makes us DIFFERENT is our Retirement Resource Center (RRC), where we provide free financial education, free financial advocacy, and free financial planning services.
We use a digital tool that works as a financial GPS to help individuals identify where they are, where they want to go, and how to get there.
Here’s the truth:
❌ Most people are confused about money and don’t know who to trust.
❌ Many believe financial coaching is only for the wealthy.
❌ And too often, financial professionals only work with those who already have investable assets.
But what about everyone else — the hardworking professionals, nurses, and middle-income families who want to do better but don’t know where to start?
That’s where we come in.
From Setback to Purpose
My journey from setback to success wasn’t easy, but it was transformative. Every challenge became preparation for this purpose — helping others avoid the same mistakes I once made.
Why I started
I started nursing school in Jamaica at age 17 and migrated to New York City at 24 to continue my work as a nurse. My pivot into financial education began in 2016, when I faced a major financial setback that shook me. But, instead of staying stuck, I decided to rebuild.
In 2017, I stepped into financial coaching and immersed myself in personal finance and financial education. That knowledge transformed my life and ignited a passion in me to help others transform theirs.
Today, as a full-time financial advisor and coach, I specialize in educating and empowering healthcare professionals to gain clarity, confidence, and control over their finances so they can break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and start building lasting financial freedom - without stress, shame, or struggle.
If you’re a healthcare professional, small business owner, or family trying to break free from debt, build savings, and plan for the future, you’re not alone. Financial freedom isn’t just for the few — it’s for anyone willing to learn and take the necessary steps.
What I've learned
I’ve discovered that it’s never too late to start, but there’s a cost to waiting. I’ve also learned that financial freedom isn’t about numbers — it’s about clarity, confidence, and control.
What I’ve accomplished
I rebuilt my credit from 490 to excellent (800s), transformed my finances and my money mindset, and completed 7 financial examinations in 17 months - February 2024 to June 2025, including FINRA licenses. I’ve now merged 4 decades of nursing experience with financial expertise to serve the people who provide care to others.
Where I’m going
My practice is building a movement of Legacy Multipliers — a team dedicated to expanding impact, strengthening financial foundations, and creating generational change.
I’m committed to:
Touching more lives and making a difference
Educating families to achieve financial independence
Empowering healthcare professionals to build wealth with confidence
Promoting generosity and legacy building
Creating a ripple effect that multiplies across generations
My mission is simple: Equip professionals to grow, give, and leave a lasting impact.
The journey that began in crisis has become a calling — and I’m just getting started.
A Few Questions for you…
How often do you think about money?
When you think about money, what comes to mind?
What percentage of your income is passive?
Do you have kids? If you should die today, would you want their life to be the same, better or worse? How much monthly income would your family need if you weren’t here to provide it?
On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with your current financial plan? Who’s helping you navigate your financial future? Invest and plan for retirement? Build a strong financial house?
If these questions made you pause, that’s a sign it’s time to take control. These questions matter, but your answers matter even more.
If you’re tired of long hours, living paycheck to paycheck, or feeling uncertain about your financial future, it’s time to make a change.
It’s Your Time
Let’s build a plan that empowers you to live with purpose, peace, and prosperity, clarity, confidence, and control.
