Higher Heights has worked with:

I started my career at Fannie Mae where I helped develop a wide variety of successful programs that enabled millions of consumers become homeowners. I also built strong and effective relationships with Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, financial institutions, faith-based institutions and government agencies.

As a consultant, I now help private, public and nonprofit organizations develop and execute successful programs to help families enjoy a more secure future. Along the way, I also co-authored a book entitled “You and Your Money: A No-Stress Guide to Becoming Financially Fit” (Financial Times Press). It was selected as a pick for the Oprah and Friends radio show Book Club.

I also served as a Senior Research Fellow at the New America Foundation—a Washington-DC based think tank—where I explored policy solutions to improve financial services and financial education. 

In light of the growing complexity of financial services, I am focused on meeting the need for widespread, effective financial education to reduce debt and build wealth. Together, we can help a lot of people. The programs and initiatives we can create will provide the bedrock for the advancement of families—the means to achieve financial security.
