Details about this class

If you’re considering a class to help navigate the financial complexities of life, you’ll find my personal finance course to be directly applicable to your real-world needs and goals. I've designed this course to be more than just learning how to budget; you’ll develop a solid understanding of personal finance principles, from effective saving and credit management to understanding taxes, investing, and risk management. My goal is for you to leave with the confidence to make informed financial decisions, the tools to build a comprehensive financial plan, and practical skills you’ll use for a lifetime.

With my background in strengths-based career planning and business education, I take a personal approach to teaching. I focus on providing you with personalized feedback and real-life applications for what we cover. I believe in making education accessible, supportive, and relevant to your future success. Whether you're looking to get a handle on managing money today or planning for long-term security, I’ll be here to guide you along the way.
