Financial Services Professional & Financial Literacy Advocate
Personal Notes
One of my grandpa’s favorite quotes, and mine, is “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve,” by Napoleon Hill.
I became a Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI) to help people avoid the financial hardships I faced. After serving in the Army, I exhausted my Post 9-11 GI Bill, used up my savings, and struggled to pay bills while transitioning to civilian life. I know how overwhelming financial setbacks can be, and that experience inspired me to teach others the tools to build stability and security. Through my company, Kirksey Financial Health LLC, I’m here to empower young professionals with financial knowledge that helps them break free from financial stress and work toward a prosperous future.
