I have built a career at the intersection of journalism, the business of media, and personal finance. This means that I am a communicator at heart, and know how to listen and connect the dots to understand your money story. I grew up in Miami after my family immigrated from the Dominican Republic. I now live on the East Coast. I love solo travel, anything that takes me to the water, weightlifting, listening to old school R&B, personal development, and cannot pass up on a juicy True Crime show. I'm a native Spanish speaker.
I fell in love with the power of money in my 20s. I moved to Chicago, but reached panic mode when I realized I had not accounted for what it would take to make ends meet on my own. I vowed to get smart about money, checked out almost every book I could on personal finances, and journaled all of my spending. This enabled me to pay off all my student loans, high-interest credit card debt, build a 401k investment portfolio, and purchase a house.
