Jan. 2020 - Jun. 2024Wichita Falls, Texas, United StatesTexas State Licensure #: 2489426 I am passionate about closing the gap of financial education. The ONE THING that 100% of people must deal with is finances. Yet, we do not require financial education in secondary education. What little elective education is provided tends to focus on economic theory, rather than personal economy, insurance, retirement savings, building wealth, and debt management. Using a Financial Lifestyle Strategy and building relationship, we provide the opportunity to wipe away financial fear and give regular folks the tools to change their financial future.
