Da’Ziya joined ArchCity Defenders with a passion for helping individuals and families strengthen their financial well-being through budgeting, saving, and financial education. During her academic and professional journey, she interned and worked with two of the top Big Four accounting firms, gaining valuable real-world experience in accounting and auditing. While building a strong foundation in the field, she discovered a true passion for helping others gain the knowledge and tools needed to create healthy financial habits and long-term financial stability.
