About

Hello! I am the founder of Hope Peace Money Coaching, LLC and a mother of 2 sons. We live in Portland, OR metro area.  I obtained a Doctorate Degree in Materials Science and Engineering in 2009 and worked for a high-tech company for 15 years.  In my various engineering roles, I learned a lot about myself, my strengths, and my areas that needed growth.  The roles allowed me to grow on my analytical and problem-solving skills.  One thing that I struggled with during my corporate roles was that helping others and being labeled as “too kind” may sometimes be seen as a weakness instead of a strength. That bothered me but I also learned why that was the case in a corporate world.

A beloved Pastor once shared that one of the few things to know the priority in someone’s life is through their financial statements. Temptations to overspend beyond our means is all around us constantly. Money has its way to overpower us and may ended up owning us instead of us owning it if we are not mindful.  

After the unexpected passing of my husband, I was left with 2 young boys and the messiness of life juggling grieving family, work, finances as well as managing his estate which unfortunately, had to go through probate.  This critical event in my life had caused me to look back on my life’s purpose and what I have to offer for others. With my analytical background, personal finance knowledge, and desire to help one person and one family at a time, I then made the decision to pursue personal financial coaching. I completed the Financial Peace University and Financial Coach Master Training through Ramsey Solutions. These courses and training have strengthened and equipped me with the financial knowledge and the tools to be a coach.

It would be my honor to walk along side you in finding the hope and peace in your financial journey!
