Christina is a Maryland native, plant lover, and nature enthusiast. She loves all things self-development, Eco-friendly, and minimalistic. As a solo-parent, she understands the struggles that come with taking care of a family as the only income earner.

Eager to be independent, Christina bought her first home at the early age of 20 and immediately began drastic renovations, before being laid off for the 3rd time. In the following months, while still working on construction, Christina experienced a broken ankle that required corrective surgery, as well as, became pregnant with her first child. All these life events, combined with the 2008 economic recession, impacted her ability to earn a decent wage. This lead to supplementing her income by using credit cards. Not a sustainable way to live, but a strategy many use. Christina worked hard at being a fun and loving mom, stellar college student, and irreplaceable employee. Despite her attempts, she experienced several layoffs due to corporate changes and found herself caught up in a cycle of building high debt, diligently paying most of it off, then, life happening and building it back up again. While working as a financial advisor in 2020, during the COVID pandemic, she was finally fed up with the vicious debt cycle and declared no more bad debt. She worked really hard to become free of bad debt, for good, and paid off $37,000 in 12 months. During this time, Christina expanded her financial knowledge and experience to include the way the brain works with money and she continues to expand her knowledge in the area of neuroscience and habit formation and how this is interconnected with our relationship to money. She is an avid learner and is eager to share with others what she has learned and help them make lasting changes in their lives to improve their prosperity.

Christina is a Certified Money Coach (CMC) and earned her Bachelors of Science in Business Administration with a minor in Small Business / Entrepreneurship and aspires to obtain both her Masters in Personal Financial Planning and Certified Financial Planner CFP designation. She also has 20 years of experience working in various roles in the financial services sector, including debt collection, banking, and investments. 

Her mission is to open up the conversations around money and help as many people as possible feel safe and secure in their relationships with money so they can lead prosperous lives.
