Tiffany lives with her family in Washington, DC. She enjoys volunteering and mentoring young professionals in her spare time, noting the kindness she received from so many to help her be successful professionally. Growing up economically disadvantaged in North Carolina with mom as the primary financial provider that worked three jobs to keep a roof over their heads inspired her interest in giving back to society and helping people that face some of the same barriers she faced while trying to accomplish financial independence.
