My Background
I live in a small rural town, Olalla, across Puget Sound from Seattle with my family of 5.
YNAB is a personal passion and coaching is a side project for me; my day job is working for a Brazilian-based financial technology company. I've worked in fintech for over a decade now, including Visa and NerdWallet.
I built my first budget in Excel in college and used that for personal and family budgeting for a decade before (finally) discovering YNAB in 2016.
Why Work with Me
Money is harder than it should be. Money is taboo to discuss, it's prone to comparison, and finding unbiased help can be hard. I want to help you feel more comfortable with your money, no judgements.
My clients have included people across the financial spectrum: recent college grads just trying to figure things out, doctors making tons of money but who still felt behind financially, and deeply indebted families.
I'd love to work with you, too. Give me a call!
Why I Coach
I coach YNAB because I love to help people make sense of their money and feel empowered.
YNAB took a few months to get used to, especially credit card management, but I figured it out and have been in love since.
Using YNAB I was able to pay off my college loans, 2 cars, and finally feel like I could plan ahead.
I'm excited to help you find that kind of financial clarity.
