Meet the Host
When I graduated from OT school in 2019 with six figures of student loan debt—I had no clue how to manage my money. I was overwhelmed and I knew something had to change.
Fast forward to today: I’ve learned how to take control of my finances, make my money work for me, and help other OTs do the same. That journey led me to create The Money Matters in OT Podcast, where I share the financial lessons we should have learned in school.
Through my signature 5-Step OT Money Blueprint™, I’ve helped hundreds of rehab professionals build wealth, invest in their future, and tackle debt. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, and I’m here to help you take that first step. Ready to create (and actually crush) your money goals? Let’s do this!
