By the end of our course, students will be familiar with the key principles of financial independence. We will make a plan for tracking our income and spending and discuss why it is important to know these numbers. We will discuss the concept of saving more than you spend along with effective ways to invest your income. We will learn strategies for starting your own small business even as a teenager. We will learn about credit cards and how to use them responsibly. Finally, we will go over ways to make mindful decisions about big purchases, including cars and college! 

I am a licensed social studies educator (North Carolina) with a passion for personal finance. Professionally, I am certified to teach both micro and macro economics, and personally I have a strong knowledge in debt reduction strategies, budgeting and saving. 

I have taught a variety of social studies courses in both the traditional classroom and online environment for over 13 years. I love making history come to life through first hand accounts, images and stories. While my background is in middle and high school education, I have worked with younger (and older) learners as well. As a homeschooling mom of two (ages 5 and 8) I love the Outschool concept and how it enables teachers to personalize learning for all!

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.

Each day, learners will complete a step to improve their financial lives such as setting up a spending and saving tracker, reflecting on their habits with money, brainstorming income ideas, etc. Instructions and guidance will be provided in each day's lesson. Learners will have the opportunity to interact with each other to share ideas and get feedback. They can also reach out to me anytime! I'll be in contact throughout the class to check in, answer questions and help each learner make an individualized plan for their finances.
