Hi, I’m Leo 👋

Inviting someone to be a part of your financial journey is such an intimate act of courage. I will never take your courage for granted.

I’ll always meet your vulnerability with my own. Here’s a little more about my money story 👇

<aside>

The highlights: 🇵🇭 I’m Filipino-American. I was born and raised in Manila, then moved to the States with my family in 2003 when I was 12.

🏳️‍⚧️ I identify as non-binary and transmasculine. Saving up for my top surgery in 2021 was one of the most transformative money experiences I’ve ever had.

✍️ I’m a trained service journalist. My career in finance started as a personal finance reporter at Business Insider.

💼 Being a financial coach and educator is my full-time job. It’s been a childhood dream of mine to steward my own business. In 2023, I was laid off from my job, and I invested $20,000 (from my severance package and unemployment benefits) and went all in on Queer & Trans Wealth.

♌ For my astrology nerds, I’m a double Leo with a Sagittarius rising.
