At 9 years old, most kids were figuring out what they wanted to be when they grew up. I was starting my company KidKredit
Since then, I’ve partnered with Equifax and wrote a book teaching families how to protect children from identity theft, introduced that book into school systems across New York and New Jersey, and helped distribute thousands of copies.
Now at 18 and taking a gap year to decide whether college is the right next step for me. But “gap year” definitely doesn’t mean sitting around.
I’m currently teaching KreditVerse VR/AI in New York, New Jersey and Georgia schools, helping build immersive financial-literacy and skilled-trades experiences, all while I’m studying toward HVAC and Electrical certifications, and managing a team of 14 interns.
I’m also preparing to launch the 1st VR/AI Career Exploration Academy in partnership with St. John's University giving people the chance to explore real career pathways before making major decisions about their futures.
I’m still learning, still building, and still figuring things out, but I’ve learned that you don’t need to have your entire life planned to start making a difference.
I would say the future is looking pretty bright.⚡🥽
