I’m an academic who manages my life with a complex web of Excel dashboards.

My personal finance textbook comes out in January 2025. I’m passionate about making financial freedom accessible to every student so they can live their desired life without the burden of living paycheck to paycheck.

I’m mom to four kids and wife to the guy who owns everyone’s favorite doughnut shop. I’m obsessed with planning ahead and putting systems in place. What I lack in patience, (I hope) I make up for as household cook, event planner, and procurement specialist.

My perfect day is a little bit of everything: work, writing time, family time, a visit with a friend, and a few walks sprinkled in.
