My Story

I’ll never forget the overwhelming feeling that hit me when I finished residency and looked at my financial situation. Like most young doctors, I was in debt up to my ears—student loans, credit cards, and the looming reality of starting a high-stakes career with little financial literacy. I had spent years honing my surgical skills, but when it came to managing money, I felt like a novice.

It wasn’t until I sat down and faced my finances head-on that I realized I needed a game plan—fast. I knew I had to break the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck and start thinking long-term. The first step? I built a clear, structured budget. I had no idea where my money was going before that, and seeing it laid out helped me understand how much was slipping through my fingers.

I also tackled my student loans. I set up a strategy to aggressively pay down high-interest debt while still saving for the future. That’s when things started to change. Slowly but surely, I began to build my financial foundation—saving for retirement, setting aside emergency funds, and even investing in real estate.

Now, years later, I’m not just financially stable—I’m financially empowered. The key was taking that first step, and trusting that small, consistent actions could lead to big rewards. Your financial journey doesn’t have to be overwhelming; it just needs to start. Join me on the journey together!
