I am currently a full-time editor for The Motley Fool. I graduated with my Master of Accounting from North Carolina State University and have an extensive finance background. In addition, I recently completed my first course at NYU School of Professional Studies for Copyediting and Proofreading manuscripts.
My experience and education may seem counterintuitive to most people, but the background shows the abundance of my interests. I believe each person and even numbers can tell a story, but I've learned that it's not just about the story but the mode of delivery also. Every word, phrase, and clause, if there's any room for confusion, a reader can miss the message. I value stories and want to ensure whether in an article, book, or blog, I help readers feel the message. Whether I'm in the position of editing or writing my own story, I put in that same level of dedication.

In a world impacted by racial injustice in so many areas, the realm of entrepreneurship is no different. Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) have historically been hindered when it comes to funding for starting businesses.
