I have profound dedication to advancing the financial literacy movement, driven by his passion for helping individuals and families realize the American Dream. Having worked in the credit union industry for over 25 years, I have seen first-hand how a strong financial foundation can prevent costly errors and facilitate the path to achieving one’s goals.

My career in the financial industry began as a teller, where I quickly recognized my passion to help people. Driven by the desire to genuinely improve our members’ lives, I was able to advance to the leadership positions on the principle of prioritizing the communities’ interests and focusing on my values. I have worked for several credit unions in the Los Angeles and Seattle areas in different capacities. I worked for strong leaders that assisted me in my career. I hope to be that leader for others.

As President and CEO of Pasadena Credit Union, I am deeply committed to making financial services both accessible and transparent, empowering the communities we serve to enhance their financial security. This commitment is the driving force behind my work. I am proud to share my experience with students and show with hard work and perseverance, you can make an impact in our communities and advance your career.
