Macy's was a sponsor of the fashion show and I was thrilled to be a part of it! As I modeled my outfit the MC shared my mother's story of passing away of heart disease in which financial stress played a role in. I am honored to be just one of the many volunteers in the state of Wisconsin. We are Driven and Passionate working hard to make a difference.

Why making our kids money smart is critical!

56% of Americans have NO Savings and 38 Million People have NO retirement savings and the next generation their children are not being raised to save. We have to break this cycle and MAKE financial education a top priority for our children. Just as we believe Education is the right of every child so do I believe Financial Education should be. NO matter if a child lives in poverty or wealth financial education should not be with held! What good is an education that leads to a job if we do not have good money skills and end up harming ourselves financially. Parents be a Champion for your child by teaching them good money skills. If you need help contact me my Big Yellow Umbrella is big enough for everyone!
