About Me

Hey y’all!

I'm an Expert on Money Stress, on a mission to help Financially Frustrated Folks Stop Stressing TF out about Money and Live a Life They Love.

A Tampa Native, I was born and raised in a little section of Ybor City affectionately called "The Bottom." At and early age, I was intrigued by how people would behave and talk about money. And I began to notice the stress it often caused the folks closest to me. After graduating from the University of Florida I went on to become a CPA specializing in Corporate Taxes. In my 17 career, I worked with some of the top accounting firms and prestige corporations in the Tampa Bay area. After which I branched out to open my own Tax Business focusing on individual clients, Simply Tax.

It was in this business, that I developed my passion for resolving money stress. I realized that most of my clients were burdened with same financial stress I noticed in my loved ones as a child. So I felt compelled to help my clients eliminate this stress that was overwhelming their lives. As a result, I created the platform, Ponder Money, to help many of my clients take charge of their money by exploring and changing their thoughts and emotions around money.

Doing this work, I also realized everyone has a distinct default level of stress related to how much money they have, make, or spend which, I call your "Money Identity." So I wrote an e-book to help people discover their unique Money Identity and give them the tools they need to not just reduce stress but to “Master” it.
