Helping busy Millennials spend smarter, save easier, and live fuller
You’ve Googled all the things. Watched countless videos. But managing your money still feels like a challenge. Maybe you’re making good money but always seem strapped for cash.

Before working with Marisa I had a very difficult time understanding where my money was going. Since I’ve started working with her, I have a greater understanding of how and where my money is being spent. The skills she taught me have me in a much better position to pay off debt, while still being able to spend money on things I want.

Your Financial Thought Partner
Hey! I’m Marisa, and I know what it’s like to be caught between paying off debt, building savings, and striving for financial freedom. The pressure. The guilt. The grind. The tug-of-war between wanting to enjoy life now and still build for the future. I’ve worked with single professionals, young families, solopreneurs, and everything in between. Some barely getting by, others managing multiple income streams. The truth? Almost everyone feels like they ‘should be doing better.’
After navigating my own financial challenges, I discovered the power of a solid money plan, which pushed the boundaries of what I thought was possible. And gave me options I didn’t know I had. As a first-generation millionaire, my lifestyle is now both fulfilling and financially secure. And I’m on a mission to bring that same freedom to you and help you strategically and effortlessly use your money to live a more satisfying life – on your terms. Because I get it. And I got you.

Coaching with a Cause
Everyone deserves to be financially healthy, but the reality is, not everyone has the means to achieve it. I firmly believe the only way we grow as a community is by lifting each other up. With every coaching sale, a portion goes toward a scholarship fund that provides free financial coaching to low-income individuals in marginalized communities. So not only are you investing in yourself, but you’re helping improve the quality of life for someone in need. Together, we can break the cycle of economic disparity and build a legacy of financial wellness in our communities.
