Experience

Financial Services Agent
Blue Horizons Financial Services
Jan 2020 — Present · Wichita Falls, TX, US
Texas State Licensure #: 24•••26I am passionate about closing the gap of financial education. The ONE THING that 100% of people must deal with is finances. Yet, we do not require financial education in secondary education. What little elective education is provided tends to focus on economic theory, rather than personal economy, insurance, retirement savings, building wealth, and debt management. Using a Financial Lifestyle Strategy and building relationship, we provide the opportunity to wipe away financial fear and give regular folks the tools to change their financial future.

Current company

REACH! Asian & Asian Diaspora Retention & Recruitment Center

Political Organizations · 20 employees · Founded 1994 · Berkeley, California, United States

REACH! is the Asian/Pacific Islander Recruitment and Retention Center at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1994, REACH! began with a handful of committed folks, as a program under the Asian Student Union (ASU) at UC Berkeley to target “Asian Pacific American, high school students, especially those who are underrepresented, low-income, and non-college tracked”. Its goals were two-fold: 1) promoting higher education as an attainable goal and 2) empowering students through “building ethnic pride and programs that foster community activism and support APA youth culture”. As REACH! grew organizationally, the vision and purpose of REACH! grew with it. While the mission remained, “the service and empowerment of recent immigrant and urban Asian Pacific Americans living in at-risk life situations,” we added on that “Our goal is to promote higher education as a means to empower ourselves and improve the economic and social conditions facing our communities.” We saw that REACH! had a unique role on campus and in the API community at large, because REACH! was not just going to increase the numbers of underrepresented Asians at Berkeley but REACH! would be a training ground for future educators, activists, and leaders who would address society’s injustices through their life’s work. Thus, we created programs to raise political awareness, build coalitions, develop youth leaders, and build leadership in ourselves. Each year, programs have been refined and recreated by (insanely) dedicated and intelligent coordinators, who look for a better way to do things. However, our single most important legacy is the steady stream of community leaders we have and will produce. REACH! Mission Statement: "Committed to the service, empowerment, and mobilization of immigrant, refugee, and underserved Asian/Pacific Islanders by promoting higher education to empower ourselves and challenge the economic and social inequalities facing our communities" Educate, Empower, Change.
