MEET TAMI
Wall Street expertise.
Human-first coaching.
Before dedicating myself full-time to financial education and coaching, I worked on Wall Street in Debt Capital Markets and Structured Credit. My experience spans across Commercial Real Estate Finance, Credit Risk Modeling, Economic Analytics, and advising institutional clients in the U.S. and Europe.
That background gives me something most coaches simply don't have: I've seen how money moves at the highest levels of finance — and I've spent two decades translating those insights into tools people can actually use.
But what I discovered is that knowing how money works isn't enough — for anyone. The missing piece is always emotional. It's the beliefs formed in childhood, the fears we carry quietly, the family dynamics and cultural pressures that shape every financial decision we make — often without us even realizing it.
Today, I combine Wall Street rigor with emotional intelligence coaching to help professional athletes and other individuals build a confident, lasting relationship with money.
"Sustainable financial success depends as much on Mindset as it does on knowledge."

What Shaped My Mission
Early in my career, I watched my mother go through a divorce. Despite having assets, she had no credit in her own name. I had to co-sign her first credit card.
That moment changed everything.
It showed me how easily financial knowledge gets outsourced to others — and how vulnerable that makes even the strongest, most capable people. My own challenges — single parenthood and overcoming cancer — only reinforced how critical financial preparedness truly is.
From that day forward, I committed to making sure others never feel powerless when it comes to money. ♥
After 25 years working with individuals, corporations, and nonprofits, the pattern is unmistakable: most people either learned unhelpful habits in childhood or received no financial guidance at all. And nothing in our education system addresses this critical life skill.
A career-ending injury, illness, job loss, divorce, or caring for a loved one can devastate financial stability in an instant. That's exactly why this work is so essential.
COACHING APPROACH
"Expect Tough Love with Hugs — and real results!"
"You will always have a trusted, judgment-free FINANCIAL CONFIDANTE in your corner whose sole goal is to educate and empower you."
WHO I SERVE
Professional Athletes | Teams | Corporations | Individuals
Programs built for your world.
Every engagement is comprehensive and customized, grounded in the belief that lasting financial change starts with understanding why you make the decisions you do.
I distill the overwhelming personal finance information into exactly what matters for your situation, goals, and timeline.
Before we ever look at a budget or investment strategy, we start here — because the way you think and feel about money shapes every decision you make with it. Your relationship with money was shaped long ago by what you witnessed, what you were taught (or weren't), and the emotional associations you built around security, scarcity, and worthiness in childhood. You gain insight into those beliefs and replace them with intentional habits rooted in your Financial Values.
PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES & TEAMS
Built for the Reality
of a Pro Athletic Career
You've mastered your sport. Now master your money.
Key Financial Challenges:
All Athletes
- ◆Short earnings career window — and urgency to build life-long financial security
- ◆Unpredictable career longevity and income
- ◆Family & cultural financial pressure
- ◆Identity shaped by athletic achievement and the financial impact that can follow injury or retirement
Team Owners
- ◆A financially stressed athlete is a distracted athlete.
- ◆Financial peace is performance protection.
- ◆The ROI of financial wellness is measurable — and significant.
FEMALE ATHLETES
Key Financial Challenges
- ◆Significant pay gaps and lower sponsorship deals
- ◆Earlier career transitions with less institutional support
- ◆Career and financial disruption from family planning
- ◆Financial anxiety at higher rates
- ◆Fewer institutional resources and financial role models in sport
MALE ATHLETES
Key Financial Challenges
- ◆High-profile sudden wealth without the financial literacy to manage or protect it
- ◆Pressure to financially support family, friends & an entourage
- ◆Predatory financial "opportunities" targeting high earners
- ◆Generational wealth expectations on a single career
- ◆Rapid wealth loss after retirement, often within just a few years of leaving the sport
"For every athlete, the goal is the same: clarity, confidence, and a financial life that reflects the hard work you've already put in."
You can expect:
- ◆One-on-one coaching to understand your emotional relationship with money, financial situation, goals, and who else influences your financial decisions
- ◆I played a year of Division 1 college tennis, and understand the discipline, sacrifice and singular focus that elite sport demands
- ◆Customized curriculum with flexible coaching formats (how you best learn)
- ◆Include your trusted circle in key conversations
- ◆Accountability with specific goals, emotional mindset changes, measurable milestones, and clear deadlines
- ◆Lasting results and life after sport with confidence
MINDSET COACHING
The same mental edge that wins championships can transform your financial life.
Elite athletes know that performance isn't just physical — it's mental. The self-talk, visualization, and mindset work that makes you great on the field or court? That same discipline can build lasting financial confidence off it.
Yet even the most mentally tough athletes can feel uncertain, avoidant, or overwhelmed when it comes to money. That's because your relationship with money is emotional. It's shaped by how you were raised, what you were taught, and the beliefs you've carried long before your first contract.
Just as you've trained your mind to perform under pressure, I help you understand and rewire the thoughts, feelings, and emotional patterns that subconsciously drive your financial decisions.
Because true financial freedom isn't just about what you earn. It's also about gaining peace of mind.
