My Story

From
30,000 feet
to solid ground

For years, I flew with Spirit Airlines and loved every moment of it — the camaraderie, the passengers, the thousand small acts of service that made each flight matter.

Then a chance encounter on one of my flights changed the trajectory of my life. A coach named Dylan Hatch saw in me something I hadn't yet seen in myself: the ability to guide people through complex decisions with clarity and care.

When Spirit closed in 2026, I didn't start over. I landed exactly where I was always meant to be.

Early
career
Taking flight with Spirit. Years of serving passengers across the country — learning that the best service is invisible, personal, and rooted in genuine care.
Pivot
moment
A conversation at 30,000 feet. Coach Dylan Hatch boarded my flight and opened a door I didn't know existed. Curious, I got licensed and began studying financial services while still flying full time.
The plan
A second career after the runway. I intended to retire from Spirit on my own terms, then give financial guidance my full attention. Unexpected closures have a way of accelerating good plans.

WealthyFolkes, full time. Spirit closed its doors. I opened mine wider. Today I bring the same discipline, warmth, and people-first instinct to every client I serve.

How I Work

Three things I believe
about your money

I
Clarity over complexity
No jargon, no overwhelm. Every financial decision you face has a plain-English answer. My job is to find it and hand it to you in a way that makes sense for your life — not a textbook.
II
Action over anxiety
Most people don't lack information — they lack momentum. I don't just educate you; I walk alongside you until the right plan is in motion and you have the confidence to keep it there.
III
Legacy over luxury
Real wealth isn't about the next vacation — it's about what you leave behind. I help families think beyond the moment to the impact their financial choices will have on generations to come.
"I'm just one person who's lived a little, learned a lot, and wants to help others build a more secure future." — Christine, WealthyFolkes

What you build should last. We'll look at the risks you haven't thought about — and close the gaps before they cost you.
