“Upon my return to Dominica after the completion of my degree, I observed an untapped niche among young to middle aged individuals who have difficulty in managing their finances. With the use of social media, I have extended my reach to share basic personal and business financial tips to get the discussion started. In our culture, we find it hard to talk about money, especially at home. We also have a risk averse attitude towards investment. Finance Focus aims to partner with individuals in a comforting environment when making difficult financial decisions as they aim to reach a higher financial altitude”.

significant engagement.”
