She started Making Sense of Cents to document her own journey towards financial freedom (one example – due to this, she was able to pay off $38,000 in student loans in 7 months) and to share her insights and tips on personal finance, budgeting, and making money. 

Her student loan debt was a big reason why she started this blog. She was trying a bunch of different ways to make extra money, and she started highlighting them here on Making Sense of Cents.

She also has a Master of Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance, which has helped her better understand personal finance, side hustles, and starting a business.

She is passionate about empowering people to take control of their finances and live the life they want.
