Hello Finance Friends,

I’m your trusted guide to financial empowerment and intentional living. I bring a unique blend of expertise and passion to help you navigate the realms of personal finance and guilt-free traveling.

After getting myself out of $20,000 in credit card debt, I achieved a 6-figure investment portfolio 5 years later, all before the age of 30. I am dedicated to first-gen Latinas on their journey to financial independence. Reminding you all to do it gracefully and with compassion, building in a “treat yourself” sinking fund for that spa day, girls trip, or first designer bag!

Together, we'll build a roadmap to success and unlock the doors to a brighter, intentional future.
