Meet Shanisha

Brooklyn, New York native Shanisha Dixon-Tyrell was inspired by her upbringing to become a business owner. Shanisha is the first of her six siblings to complete higher education. She studied Communication and Business at The State University of New York at Albany and earned a Bachelors of Arts Degree.

 

In 2012 Shanisha started her post college career as a Labor Service Representative for the New York State Department of Labor. It was there she learned working for someone else would not allow her to truly fulfill her life's purpose which is educating families (including her own) of the importance of financial literacy. In August 2013, Shanisha started her pursuit of entrepreneurship while maintaining her full time job. Shanisha knew that with financial education she would be able to add value to members of her community. In August of 2016, Shanisha "fired her boss" to become a full time entrepreneur and has been on a full pursuit of helping families through financial literacy.
