My Why
Growing up in a family of eight, I often saw my mother and father struggle to make ends meet. Money was a necessity. I quickly realized that it impacted our quality of life, so I naturally began to study all I could about personal finance.
When my father passed away, my mother had a very hard time organizing her assets. Her resources were limited, and she simply wasn’t ready to function financially without my father's guidance. It was at that moment that I decided to dedicate my career to women like my mother women who just need a little support to get their feet underneath them and on path to financial independence.
My mother and father worked tirelessly for me and my siblings, so I decided to dedicate my own tireless work to them. “Jackson” is my maiden name, and it is there to remind me that determination never fails.
