I am originally from the City of Boston, so I have a passion for reaching back. Over the last year, there are a number of speaking engagements I have done in and around the community. My latest ‘project’ (in 2019) is an affordable community based financial literacy workshop that is designed to give, those in the community, access to information they could not otherwise afford.
