I’m a single parent raising four kids, figuring things out as I go.

I didn’t come from a tech or startup background — most of what I do is learned by necessity, curiosity, and a lot of trial and error.

I’m interested in building practical things that genuinely help people, especially around money, stress, and day-to-day life.

I’m here to learn, connect with others doing the same, and take things one step at a time.
