story
The
Confessions of a Goddess began in 2016 as a community-centered platform that brought women and young adults together through creativity, connection, and self-expression. What started as a gathering built around fashion and personal expression quickly revealed something deeper: women were not only showing up for an experience, they were showing up for support, encouragement, and a safe place to feel seen.
As the community grew, so did the need. Many women were navigating life transitions, rebuilding confidence, and searching for meaningful connections. In response, the vision evolved from an event-based experience into a mission-driven initiative focused on restoration, empowerment, and personal growth.
Today, the Confessions of a Goddess Foundation exists to provide supportive programming, community experiences, and confidence-building opportunities that help women reconnect with their identity and move forward with purpose. Our guiding belief remains simple: every woman deserves a space where she feels valued, encouraged, and empowered to rediscover her strength.
Prior to the formation of the Confessions of a Goddess Foundation, our community supported and partnered with various charitable initiatives, including It’s A Girl Thing, a nonprofit organization serving teen girls. While we are no longer formally affiliated, that partnership helped inspire the development of our own charitable mission and commitment to serving women and girls through the Foundation.

Financial Educator​
​
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, but originally from the great City of Jacksonville, Florida. Currently, I serve as a Lead Financial Analyst at a Fortune 500 Wealth management and financial services firm. Over the past five years, I have leveraged my extensive expertise in financial services to drive high-level analysis and strategy within the industry. My academic foundation includes a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of North Florida and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from St. Leo University. Both are located in Florida.
Beyond my technical skills, I bring a global perspective to my work as a bilingual professional fluent in both English and French. My passion for diverse environments extends to my personal life, where I enjoy traveling and immersing myself in different cultures. When not navigating complex financial data, I can likely be found cheering for the Florida Gators and the New England Patriots. GO Pats!! Goo Gators!!!
I'm deeply committed to social impact in the community. I volunteer with Junior Achievement of Georgia, where I help high school students build a strong financial foundation through essential knowledge in financial literacy and career readiness. I also support Open Hand Atlanta, contributing to their mission of providing medically tailored, nutritious meals to neighbors who are home-bound or underprivileged.
I support community-based non-profits that promote cross-cultural education and economic empowerment.
