• I am leading the cause to install financial literacy curriculums in our Texas high schools.

The more we can educate our students on potential debt traps and financial red flags, the sooner they can assist us in boosting our economy. My phase I goal is to raise enough sponsorship dollars for 1500 students. I am not deterred by a “recessed” period of giving.
