In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns sits down with Althea A. McLeish Whyte, also known as Dr. Al or “The Money Nurse.” Althea shares her incredible journey from being a registered nurse in Jamaica and New York to becoming a financial advisor, coach, and doctorate holder right here in Lakeland.
Althea opens up about a significant financial event in 2016 that left her depressed and discouraged. However, through faith and persistence, she transformed her situation—raising her credit score from a 490 to over 840. Now, she uses her experiences to educate others on how to fix their financial issues and secure their futures.
Whether you are looking to repair your credit, plan for retirement, or find the motivation to pivot in your own career, Althea’s story is a powerful testament to the fact that it is never too late to turn your life around. 124
