Born and raised in the vibrant city of Chicago, I have always been driven by resilience and determination. As an only child, I learned early on the importance of building a solid foundation and creating opportunities, not just for myself, but for the generations to come. A decade ago, I made the life-changing decision to move to Texas to provide my family with better opportunities and a brighter future. This move was not just about geography; it was about creating a nurturing environment where we could all thrive.

My journey is deeply rooted in my role as a mother to five incredible sons—three biological and two bonus—who inspire me every day to strive for excellence and to build a lasting legacy. Together, they are my greatest source of pride and my motivation to create a future filled with possibilities.

Throughout my life, maintaining my faith has been a source of strength and guidance. It has provided me with the resilience to navigate challenges and the hope to envision a brighter future. This steadfast belief in the power of perseverance and purpose has shaped my path, both personally and professionally.

With nearly two decades of progressive experience in finance across various industries, including education, I have honed my expertise in strategic financial planning, analysis, and leadership. My career has been a tapestry of managing multi-billion dollar budgets, optimizing processes, and enhancing financial reporting systems. With two master’s degrees in finance and a track record of ensuring fiscal responsibility and compliance, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every project I undertake.

However, my story is not just about professional achievements. It is a testament to overcoming adversity. After facing the challenges of job loss and a health scare, I decided to channel my energy into something deeply personal and meaningful—building my own business, Legacy Pathways Financial LLC. This venture is not just a business; it is a beacon of hope and a pathway to financial empowerment for small businesses and startups. It represents my commitment to guiding others in their financial journeys, just as I have navigated my own.

Education has been a cornerstone of my growth. Equipped with strong academic credentials and continuous learning, I have always believed that knowledge is power. This belief drives me to offer comprehensive bookkeeping and tax preparation services through Legacy Pathways Financial LLC. My mission is to provide clarity and confidence to my clients, ensuring they have the financial insights needed to thrive.

As a mother to five sons, I understand the importance of financial stability and the impact it has on family and future. My sons are my motivation, and every step I take is with the vision of creating a legacy that they can be proud of. Legacy Pathways is more than a business—it’s a family mission to empower others and to build a future filled with possibilities.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Together, we can create a pathway to financial success and a legacy that lasts.
