Biography
I graduated college with a Finance degree in 2008-2009... Literally the same time the financial sky was falling. House values were tanking, banks were closing down, and absolutely NO ONE was hiring newbie finance college grads. People were scared. They wanted answers. And I wanted to work in the Finance industry to help people navigate their financial worries. Out of this, the site "LifeAndMyFinances" was born. I started the site in 2010 and have been keeping it going ever since. Over the years, LifeAndMyFinances has helped thousands of people make the right choices with their money (and without all the financial jargon by the way)! And, we intend to help millions more in the upcoming years!! Along the way, I have also developed corporate experience - in merchandising analytics, financial reporting, and as a finance manager of FP&A. I also earned my MBA. Through all of this, I consider myself a Financial Expert - both in the arena of personal finance, but in corporate finance as well.
