My Journey: From Paycheck-to-Paycheck to Purpose-Driven Financial Advocate

In 2013, I arrived in Canada as a Temporary Foreign Worker. Like many of us who take the leap to work abroad, I was full of dreams and determination, ready to do whatever it took to provide for my needs and support my loved ones back home in the Philippines. I worked hard, often juggling long hours, just to make ends meet. But even though I was earning,

I wasn't truly saving or growing my money. I lived paycheck to paycheck, thinking it was enough, until life gave me a harsh wake-up call. When my mother passed away, I faced one of the most painful moments in my life, But what made it

even harder was realizing I couldn't afford to go home and say goodbye. That moment changed everything. I knew something had to change, not just for me, but for my future, my family, and

others who might go through the same struggle.

One day, a friend introduced me to someone who gave advice on how to become financially successful.

At first, I was hesitant. I thought managing money was only for people who already had a lot. But as I started learning,

I realized that financial literacy is something we all deserve, especially those who work hard for every dollar.

Slowly, I changed my habits. I learned how to manage my income, protect my future, invest wisely, and build the foundation for true financial security. The more I learned, the more I felt the calling to help others do

the same.

That's why I became a Licensed Financial Advisor, not just a profession, but as a mission. I want to empower

hardworking Filipinos and immigrants like me to break the cycle of financial stress, start building wealth with intention, and achieve peace of mind for themselves and their families.
