About Me

Becoming a Certified Professional Retirement Coach has been my avenue for assisting individuals in navigating their reimagined lives post-retirement. Drawing from my personal journey to retirement and the valuable experiences gained while supporting family, friends, and associates through their transitions, I've cultivated a passion for exploring the "next half" alongside others. In my role as a Certified Professional Retirement Coach, I find fulfillment in aligning both my purpose and passion.

With over 30 years of professional experience, I've held key roles as a financial analyst, senior budget analyst, and deputy CEO across various federal agencies and non-profit organizations. My extensive career includes contributions to entities such as the Department of Treasury, Department of Commerce, Department of Transportation, Federal Communications Commission, Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

As the founder of The Platinum Plus Collective Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, I am committed to empowering underrepresented women aged 55 and above to embark on entrepreneurial journeys. Beyond my professional endeavors, I proudly wear the hats of a mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and wife, celebrating a 37-year marriage with my husband.
