I began my career as a high school social studies teacher and accidentally fell in love with financial literacy after being asked (er, forced) to teach a course on the subject. Through that experience I realized that 1) My own finances were a mess and 2) Learning about money can be fun if it is approached through a lens of forgiveness, love and empowerment. I absolutely loved teaching high school, but after 5 years of brutal hours, little pay and no emotional capacity left in my tank, I knew that I wanted the opportunity to expand outside of the four walls of my classroom. From there I went back to grad school, got my MBA & worked in traditional financial advising. In 2018 I officially launched Verdi with the goal to help others find their own paths to financial success and, ultimately, their own paths towards creating financial equality in our society.
I love what I do, but I also believe in the importance of taking breaks, unwinding and fueling my soul. My personal favorite ways of kicking back are going on massive trail runs, playing with my two kids, reading a good novel on my back patio with a glass of wine, and eating all the sushi I can find.
I specialize in business & personal finance topics such as:
Business formation & financial operations
Projections
Pricing Structures
Budgeting
Strategic use of debt and debt elimination
Planning for large purchases
Investing
