Passions: Empowering others to unleash their true potential through financial strategies.Somewhere I read, if you look back to your childhood and remember your passions then, you’ll also discover your natural inclinations. It just took me some time to bring them all together. (I’m still working on incorporating the art part, that’s a goal in motion).Realizing there was much more I was compelled to do than just using my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, I have spent the last 17 years earning my practical financial education as: • Real Estate Investor; • Jewelry Design Business Owner;• Stock Trader;• Amazon Retailer; • and many hours reading any entrepreneurial book I could get my hands on. I am grateful to have been able to spend 2 decades plus mentoring others through: Big Sisters of Los Angeles; DIRECTV’s Women’s Executive Leadership Mentoring program; STEM Advantage; and a variety of other volunteer programs. In order to share my passion of mentoring and the importance of building a strong financial foundation with others, I joined forces with Transamerica / World Financial Group as a financial professional. So who am I? I’m an equally left-right-brained individual who loves (& needs) to frequently flex both. Mix in a splash of vibrant colors, a heap of healthy living, simmer over technology and sprinkle with lots of laughter.Nice to meet you,-Michelle
