From the Author

I have spent the majority of my career working closely with my clients, discussing their goals and their needs. It was brought to my attention the lack of available resources for teachers and administrators regarding their financial planning specific to their profession. One client told me “It would be great if there was a book just for us that explained this information in a way we could understand.”

They say that necessity is the mother of invention...so over the next year I wrote “Financial Planning for Teachers”. It was important to me that the book was easy to understand, entertaining, and short (only 144 pages) so you’ll have the time to read it.

My mission was to provide a comprehensive and concise overview of all the financial concepts you should know. I collaborated with a number of educational professionals in different stages of their careers to make sure I covered everything that was important to them.

I care about my clients, and I am passionate that everyone should have access to this valuable information. Please contact me directly if you are interested in any special offer codes, or if you would like me to come speak with you and your colleagues.
