Kind Wealth Fellow
Hi, I'm Elia
Growing up in Scarborough, my mom and dad made tremendous sacrifices so that my brothers and I could experience the kind of childhood they never had. Sports were my first passion, and football quickly became my proving ground. As I progressed through high-level competition and earned the honour of captaining the University of Toronto Varsity Blues, I began to see the game as more than just a sport, it became a lens through which I learned leadership, discipline, and long-term strategy.
Academically, I’ve pursued finance with the same tenacity I brought to the gridiron. The classroom gave me the technical tools, but it was a lived experience that taught me the why. Too many talented student-athletes graduate with accolades but no financial literacy. That inspired me to co-found the Training Ground Summit, a financial education initiative designed to empower the next generation of leaders, both on and off the field.
I was drawn to Kind Wealth not just for its holistic, human-first approach to financial planning, but because its mission reflects my own: helping people navigate money with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
As an Investment Analyst, I bring my full self. And I carry with me the belief that the most meaningful victories don’t show up on a scoreboard or a balance sheet, they show up in the lives we help shape.
