Dalene Higgins

Financial Coach at Elevate Finances LLC

Budget Management and Financial Strategy
Financial Communication
Intentional Spending Philosophy
+1 more

After 15 years managing budgets in the government sector, I became a financial coach because I saw too many people struggling with their money. Now I help individuals and couples nearing or navigating retirement build money systems that remove uncertainty—focusing on intentional spending rather than endless restriction. Over my 15-year accounting career, I managed budgets, served as a fractional CFO, and wrote and managed grants. This experience taught me to translate financial complexity for different audiences. Whether explaining budget implications to executives or breaking down grant requirements for program staff, I learned that the same numbers can be presented dozens of ways depending on who needs to understand them. I bring that adaptability to my coaching practice today. I also served on an advisory board for a local shelter, where I helped fellow board members navigate financial decisions, understand budget scenarios, and evaluate alternatives during challenging times. For the past four years as a financial coach, I've combined this practical financial expertise with a focus on what actually works for real people building systems that create clarity and confidence rather than stress and restriction.

Carolina Valderrama-Baker

Founder at Carval Financial Wellness

Sarasota, FL, USA
Budgeting
Credit Building
Debt Management
+3 more

Hi, I’m Carolina Valderrama-Baker, the founder of Carval Financial Wellness. Before starting Carval Financial Wellness, I spent 15 years at Freddie Mac, where I trained professionals nationwide, developed financial education programs in English and Spanish, and partnered with lenders, nonprofits, and real estate companies to support first-time homebuyers and expand access to financial education. My work also included national advocacy - appointed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury - appearing on radio and TV to help families during the foreclosure crisis and promoting programs that made homeownership and financial knowledge more accessible. During my tenure at Freddie Mac, I received many accolades and in 2024, I was honored to receive the Latina of Influence Award by Hispanic Lifestyle for my work in the community and excellence in service. My inspiration for starting Carval Financial Wellness comes from a lifelong passion for teaching personal finance and witnessing how deeply money impacts people’s confidence, stress levels, and overall well-being. Even with a strong educational foundation in my own family, I saw early on that financial education is not universal—and that so many people, regardless of background, simply never receive the guidance they need to feel secure and empowered with their money. Throughout my career, the moments that fulfilled me most were the ones spent teaching, simplifying complex topics, and helping someone realize they could take control of their finances. Over the years, I became driven to create a space where financial wellness felt personal, compassionate, and accessible. That passion is what led me to launch Carval: a mission-driven business where I combine expertise, education, and empathy to help people reduce stress, build confidence, and transform their financial lives. Today, I bring all of that experience into my coaching - helping individuals, families, and employees reduce financial stress, make informed decisions, and achieve financial stability and success. By combining expertise, empathy, and cultural understanding, I guide my clients toward lasting financial well-being.
