About Bright Cent Foundation
Bright Cent Foundation helps young adults build financial confidence by teaching practical money skills for life — from reading paychecks to filing taxes. Through online learning, in-person workshops, and community partnerships, we’re making financial literacy accessible, engaging, and empowering.
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats in the world of finance and business—each one teaching me something new about how to help people feel more confident with money.
I began by preparing taxes for individuals and families, turning complicated forms into clear steps. From there, I moved into accounting, making sure every dollar was tracked and every report told the full story.
As a financial advisor, I sat down with people one-on-one to guide them through budgeting, saving, and planning for their goals. I later stepped into marketing and community outreach, working to make financial education more engaging and accessible.
These experiences led me to Bright Cent Foundation, where I can bring all of that knowledge together to teach young adults the money skills that truly matter—clearly, practically, and with purpose.
Helping the next generation feel empowered with their finances isn’t just a career goal—it’s something I care deeply about. I know what it feels like to figure things out on your own, and I want to make that journey easier for someone else.
