As a Vice President of Retail Financial Services & Investments, she advised individual consumers and small business customers how to accomplish financial goals and properly increase revenue through adequate strategic planning. Bahiyah’s educational path allows her the expertise she currently uses.  With a psychology and financial background, she noticed how society recklessly spends money and lacks self-reliance.  The outlandish spending derives from emotional spending and lack of holding oneself accountable, which she felt must be addressed. 

She is the author of two books: Stillwaters and Finances are Linked to Emotions.  She has written news articles about emotional spending, strategic planning for businesses, premarital financial consultations, and finances for children. She frequently presents seminars and workshops to groups, businesses, and organizations. Some of her seminar presentations include “Find your potential”, “Manage your investments”, "Budget your cash flow", "Planning for success” and “Embrace change & reach milestones”.
