About Me

I'm Rachel — a tech entrepreneur and strategist with 15+ years in cybersecurity, fintech, and SaaS leadership. I bootstrapped my own education with $100K in micro-donations and side hustles, and now I'm building the platform I wish I had.

My work at FinLink AI focuses on compressing the path from high school to skilled trade careers—combining AI advising, micro-donor discovery, and employer-aligned training pipelines.
