Hi, I’m Arlene, the heart behind Money Mapped 💛

I’m a first-generation Mexican American who knows what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck, juggling bills, dreams, and self-doubt—all while trying to break cycles and build something better. I am currently a double major in Finance and Computer Engineering while also working full-time.

I didn’t grow up learning about money, but I’ve made it my mission to teach what I’ve learned the hard way: how to budget, build self-control, and actually feel good about your finances. I created Money Mapped to help you take back your power—not just through numbers, but through mindset, habits, and confidence.

Whether you're here to grab an ebook, download a spreadsheet, or book a 1-on-1 session, I’m rooting for you every step of the way. This is more than budgeting—it’s part of becoming the best version of yourself. Let’s map it out together. 💸✨
