Education and Credentials

I think it’s important for the readers of my books and other material I create to know my credentials, training and education without having to guess. So, here are the big ones…

Accredited Financial Counselor

MS, Personal Financial Planning and Financial Therapy

My Inspiration for the name

FInomenal Woman

The name FInomenal Woman merging of Financial Independence (FI) & Phenomenal Woman. It’s inspired by the iconic poem “Phenomenal Woman” by Maya Angelou. She is my favorite poet because of the poise and confidence she exuded in all her great works as a writer, poet, activist and speaker.

In 2022, the US Mint honored Maya Angelou by making her part of the American Women Quarters Program which recognizes the accomplishments and contributions of trailblazing American women.

Services

Money is hard and still a taboo topic, but it doesn’t have to be. My F.I.R.E. (Financial Independence, Retire Early) story is unique because at first I didn’t feel that I fit in. As I talked more and more about money, I realized how simply sharing my story inspired others to start their journey to financial wellness. I am transparent with my finances (unheard of with most financial professionals) and empathetic to the emotional sensitivity that comes with talking about money.

Beyond just a great backstory, I have earned valuable education and credentials so you can be confident in the quality of information and guidance I provide.

I am curious and a life long learner. I love sharing my knowledge to elevate others and enjoy working with groups of people at the beginning of their wealth building journey where I believe it can have the greatest impact.
