Built to empower you.

April believes that if you're smart enough to be a nurse, you're smart enough to manage your money. Her job isn't to tell you what to do. It's to teach you what things are, how they work, the pros and cons, and help you understand your options so you're making the most informed decision possible.

This is collaborative coaching. April walks alongside you, not in front of you. Every decision is yours, and you'll feel confident making it.

🚫
No products. No commissions. Ever.
April does NOT sell financial products or receive any commission. She charges a flat fee for her services, period.

Every year you wait is a year your money isn't growing.

Built for nurses, led by a nurse who's been there.

April comes from a family of nurses, from her big sister working in the OR to her mom working on an LTAC unit. As a Filipino, nursing isn't just a career. It's cultural.

She grew up in Chicago and worked as an ICU nurse before retiring from nursing to grow NurseMoneyDate® full-time. Shortly after, she channeled everything she knew about money into something built for the nurses around her. NurseMoneyDate® launched in 2021 and has been growing ever since.

5,500+ hours in financial planning for nurses
100+ positive reviews from nurses nationwide
CFEI Certified Financial Education Instructor
CFP® Certification candidate

Over half of April's clients are Filipinos and women of color. That's not a coincidence. She built NurseMoneyDate® because she wanted nurses to see someone who looked like them, who understood their culture, their family dynamics, and the specific financial pressures that come with this profession.

She coaches the strategy and the emotions, because your relationship with money matters just as much as the math.
