About the Author
I am a veteran educator and financial professional with nearly 40 years of real-world and classroom experience, dedicated to helping young people build strong financial foundations.
For over a decade, I’ve taught Personal Finance, Business Law, and Entrepreneurship at a Massachusetts high school, preparing students to make confident, real-life financial decisions.
Before entering education, I spent 18 years in the banking industry in Houston, Texas, along with experience in the legal and insurance fields. Today, I use that background to turn complex financial topics into clear, practical lessons through workshops and the Money Compass series.
My mission is to make financial literacy simple, engaging, and accessible for every student.
