Chanay R. Robinson is CEO of The Professional Credit Diva, LLC, which was born out of a need to fix her own credit in 2016.  She signed with two different companies at the same exact time!

As she began to see a slight increase in her credit scores she became more interested in how the “game of credit” worked.  So, she joined several credit groups on various social media platforms and started discovering different tricks of the trade.  That led her into completing more research and learning the actual process of Credit Restoration and Credit Score Improvement.  It was fascinating and she really enjoyed it!

She also learned that an everyday individual could start their own Credit Repair Company.  And that’s exactly what she did!!!  She  continues to build a legacy for her  family while changing the legacy of the families of  her clients by helping them achieve their goals and dreams by raising their credit scores!

Sabine Saadeh was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon,  the city that is haunted yet vibrant. She studied Business Economics at the Lebanese American University, then worked as a trader in financial markets for ten years, having absolutely loved the world of capital markets. 

Sabine is the author of Trading Love. 


A lot of her girl friends wanted to know what she did as they did not understand her work. She also realized that women should be more interested in wealth management and capital markets, so she decided to write Trading Love,  a novel with a “Sex and the City” flair and then incorporate the subject of financial markets through the concept of relationships, in order to pique the ladies’ interest in finance.
