My journey to financial literacy
My inspiration for creating children's books on financial literacy comes from a very personal place: it took me a long time to truly understand money. Schools don't teach it, and often, parents don't talk about it. My own learning journey was paved with errors and hard-won lessons.
I didn't want my son to wait as long as I did, so when he turned seven, we started the 'jar method'. Having worked with children my entire professional life, I know their incredible capacity to learn and apply new concepts when taught effectively. This ignited my passion to share these vital lessons with more families.
Empowering families, one conversation at a time
What do I hope children and parents gain from my books and resources? I want parents to feel empowered to have these essential conversations with ease. When they see their kids are capable of understanding these concepts, I want them to know that early financial education can save their children time and money in the future.
Money doesn't have to be a secret or a source of stress; it can be a part of everyday life, discussed with grace and understanding. I believe these early lessons build a strong foundation for a financially confident future.
More than just an author
When you visit this page, I want you to feel a connection, not just with an author, but with a fellow parent. I'm not an expert who always had it all figured out; I'm a normal person who struggled because of a lack of information at a young age.
My goal is for you to know that I understand your challenges, and that you can relate to my journey. My books are born from personal experience and a genuine desire to make financial literacy accessible and engaging for the next generation.
"As a parent who also struggled with understanding money, I felt an immediate connection. Her story is so relatable, and her resources are exactly what I needed to start these important conversations with my kids."
A happy parent from Orlando, Florida
