about Me
Currently, I work at a wealth management firm in Falls Church, VA. Here, I work under 5 senior planners getting hands-on experience working with clients and seeing how even just a little bit of financial literacy can make a huge impact on someone's life.
In May 2019 I graduated from Virginia Tech with a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural & Applied Economic Management with a concentration in Financial Planning and a minor in Communication Studies. With a major like that, you might be thinking, "Wow she is a nerd!!" While I do have some nerdy qualities, I love to play (and watch) sports, hang out with friends, help people, volunteer and play with my two Bichons.
I am from Northern Virginia; I have an older brother and younger sister. Being the middle child, I was always competing with my siblings to be the best, so I have a lot of advice on how to be the best. I want to educate college age students about financial planning, how to save money in college, and give advice on how to have their finances right after they graduate or when they are first beginning their career.
FruGal Finances LLC is a blog that is tailored to 18- upper 20s year olds. Some may say that the age gap is wide, however, I believe that the articles on here will provide good financial advice that can create a good foundation for people who have little knowledge about finances.
