About the Author

Screenshot 2026-04-13 at 9.26.37 PM.png

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.
