I'm a digital content strategist and personal finance junkie. After spending years as a governmental accountant, I transitioned into the world of freelance writing and I'm loving every moment of it. My work has been featured on The Wall Street Journal, ABC News, MSN Money, Yahoo! Finance, Fox Business, Credit.com, Investopedia and Money Talks News. I also teach financial literacy workshops for nonprofits, governmental organizations, colleges and universities around the nation. When I'm not writing away or speaking at an event, I enjoy spending time with my family, mentoring mommy-preneurs and traveling.
