When I first started studying finance, much of the terminology felt like a foreign language. But slowly, I learned that behind the jargon were very human concerns: risk, value, growth, survival. I’ve noticed that many people feel the same about their own money — uncertain, overwhelmed, even shut out. So I’ve made it part of my goal to explore finance in a way that’s more inclusive, curious, and digestible. I don’t just want to use financial language — I want to help translate it.

Working in finance has helped me see how businesses make decisions with care, plan for uncertainty, and measure what matters. But those same lessons apply to life outside the boardroom too — saving with purpose, setting goals, and making better everyday choices. My interest lies in that intersection: how commercial finance principles can sharpen our personal money habits. That’s what I write about — and reflect on — as I grow in the profession.

I’ve come to believe that finance isn’t about being perfect with money. It’s about being thoughtful. And it’s not a language only for professionals — it can be for anyone, as long as it’s explained with clarity and care. That’s part of what drives me. As I pursue my career in commercial finance, I’m equally passionate about making financial thinking accessible to more people — whether they work in business, manage a household, or simply want to feel more in control of their money.
