I am a licensed social studies educator and homeschooling parent with a passion for personal finance. I am certified to teach economics, and have a strong knowledge in debt reduction strategies, budgeting and saving. Over the past few years I have educated myself on the principles of Financial Independence and our family is now debt free! When it comes to income, I have a lot of research and life experience to share. In particular, I earned money as a teen in a variety of ways and currently own my own educational consulting company. I also founded a successful local branch of a non-profit organization in my community. I wish someone had shared more financial tips with me when I was younger and I am excited about sharing what I have learned with you! 

Having fun while we learn is so important! I focus on keeping the classroom environment accepting of all students while delving into these important topics.
