MEET THE TEAM!

Alisha grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana and was raised by immigrant parents from Bangladesh. Her resilience and determination are a reflection of her parents, who came to the U.S. with very limited resources and did everything to provide for their children. Alisha studied on a scholarship at the University of Pennsylvania, where she pursued a double major in Economics and Political Science. She began her career as an investor at Vanguard, and later transitioned to be a private equity investor in New York. Outside of work, Alisha sat on the advisory board for non-profit, Girls Who Invest and today, she is an ambassador and mentor. 

When Alisha made her first “big” paycheck, she realized that despite working in finance, no one had ever taught her how to manage her own money. She realized that many young adults, including herself, often felt adrift when navigating personal finances. Although she had become a professional in the world of finance, the lessons she wished she had learned about money, both in school and at home, were missing, just like many others. 

Alisha is dedicated to leveling the playing field in financial education. She envisions a world where everyone has equal access to financial knowledge, empowering them to foster a positive relationship with money and ultimately enhance their overall well-being.
