About Me

From financial mistakes to financial empowerment

My journey began when I moved from Côte d'Ivoire (West Africa) to California in 2016 with the hope of building a better future.

Like many newcomers, I had to learn how the American financial system worked. I made financial mistakes because I didn't have the knowledge I needed at the time. Those mistakes became a catalyst for education.

Today I use my personal experience and professional education as a CFEI, ASBC, and FPAP to help others build financial knowledge, stronger foundations, and lasting confidence.
