Do you discuss your salary information with your partner? Do you know how much he/she has in emergency funds or investments? How about the debt your partner has incurred? We’ve gotten comfortable pooling our knowledge on all kinds of topics, but most people still aren’t open to discussing money.

I believe everyone can benefit from expanding their knowledge about the numbers that shape their lives: their finances. I’ve built a career working with individuals, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs, helping them reach their goals through honesty, planning, and good decisions.

I currently wear two hats:

1) Personal Finance Whisperer - teaching and writing about personal finance with a holistic approach. As a “recovering financial planner,” I no longer sell investments & insurance. My focus is educating & empowering people to ask questions and think through their financial goals. I also write and teach about philanthropy. Giving back doesn't require a lot of zeros.

2) Capacity Building Catalyst - which means applying my extensive marketing, development, writing, and event planning experience to help nonprofits. I'm a creative connector of ideas and people. I've got a non profit heart and business mindset. Well organized, digital media literate, high energy, goal oriented team player.
