Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
With 20 years of investment experience, I started Personal Finance Warrior to provide dedicated financial resources for women. When I was growing up, my Mom needed to leave my Dad and she was frozen out of the bank accounts. This experience instilled in me the importance of financial education and financial independence. I provide financial planning sessions, coaching and online workshops for female entrepreneurs and fast track professional women. I encourage women to step into their financial power!
What would your clients say about you and your company?
Clients would say that I help women step into their financial power! They would also say that I make a topic like finance engaging and interesting. I take the fear and anxiety out of learning about money. Women feel inspired to take action with their money and invest when we work together and they learn how the investment process works.

Go for it!
