As a former collegiate athlete turned special educator, I never imagined stepping into the financial world. But after growing up in a family of teachers and experiencing financial hardship firsthand, I recognized a deep need for financial literacy—especially among families like mine. That realization became even more personal when my family faced an unexpected tragedy. We weren’t prepared, and the financial fallout was devastating. I lost my home and faced challenges that no family should have to endure. It didn’t have to be that way—and that truth lit a fire in me to make sure other families never experience what I did. Now, as a financial specialist with Transamerica, I’m passionate about the mission of No Family Left Behind. I support families—especially those raising children with special needs—with strategies for life insurance, retirement rollovers, debt reduction, final expense planning, and more. I’m also committed to helping others build meaningful careers in this space. Life is unpredictable, but with the right plan, your family’s future doesn’t have to be. Let’s connect and build a strategy that brings you peace of mind—no matter what life brings.
