“Meet Jacqueline”

With a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I bring a unique blend of financial knowledge, behavioral insight, and lived experience to the work I do. For more than 30 years, I’ve been a serial entrepreneur, trainer, and trusted coach — guiding individuals, nonprofits, churches, and small businesses toward practical financial success.

My Guiding Philosophy

“Run your personal finances like a business.”

When people approach their personal finances with the same structure, awareness, and decision-making used in successful businesses, they gain clarity, control, and confidence in their financial lives.

As a retired federal employee with extensive experience in human resources, training, and coaching, I understand what motivates people to take action — and what often holds them back. My journey has never just been about numbers; it has always been about empowering people to believe in their own possibilities and take meaningful steps toward financial stability.

Over the years, I’ve trained and mentored more than 50 individuals through a proven financial education system while helping many others launch and manage their businesses with greater confidence and clarity. I’ve taught in schools, community groups, and faith-based organizations, emphasizing the life-changing power of budgeting, credit awareness, income shifting, and long-term wealth building.

I am the founder of Success Thru Finance Collective, LLC, a purpose-driven business focused on equipping underserved communities — especially trade students, underpaid workers, nonprofits, and churches — with the tools, systems, and structured financial training needed to thrive financially.

Through STFC, I partner with organizations to deliver practical financial education programs that guide participants through real implementation — helping them build working budgets, understand spending patterns, strengthen credit awareness, and develop long-term financial stability.

Service has always been at the heart of my work. I’ve volunteered with programs that uplift disadvantaged youth, mentor parents, and strengthen families. As a proud mother and grandmother, I am deeply committed to building stronger communities — one household at a time.

Currently, I’m expanding my credentials through certification programs in Grant Writing and through the Association for Financial Counseling & Planning Education (AFCPE) to further strengthen the impact I bring to every client and partner organization.

Whether in workshops, training programs, or institutional partnerships, I believe financial literacy is not just a skill — it is a birthright that can empower families and transform future generations.
