I write about personal and family finances. I’m an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC) focused on helping individuals and families navigate through financial life transitions. In my 25-year career, I’ve worked for small and large organizations, having seen all sides of the financial literacy conversation. I graduated with a degree in Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship from San Francisco State University. I’m also a wife, mom of two young adults, and caregiver for my elderly father. I love to travel, listen to live music and read as many books as possible. Follow me for coverage of topics related to financial literacy in each life stage, from planning for college and navigating adulthood, through pre-retirement.
