I’m an anti-capitalist financial coach and educator; independent journalist; and founder of Queer & Trans Wealth.
Unlike most financial professionals, I am not trained to make the rich richer. I am a worker among workers, and I do not abide by capitalist definitions of wealth.
I am trained to help you spend and save money in alignment with your values.

I have always had anxiety around money and budgeting as someone who grew up in poverty. However, Leo’s expertise and thoughtfulness in helping me create a livable budget was exactly what I was looking for. I left my session with action items and a plan for the future.

Leo held such a compassionate yet accountable space in which we worked through some of the things I’ve hard the hardest time facing on my own. He gave me new tools as well as encouragement and affirmation. They are an incredibly kind and knowledgeable person who is clearly doing the work they were called to do!
