For over 25 years, I’ve explored how financial narratives shape individual outcomes and institutional power. My work—rooted in financial journalism and deepened through doctoral research—now spans wealth literacy, narrative analysis, and changemaker storytelling. I write for thoughtful readers and decision-makers who recognize that narrative is not just messaging, but infrastructure. My recent work includes collaborations with financial institutions and media outlets nationwide advancing equitable economic futures.
Explore my three divisions below, and connect with me to discuss how we can engage thoughtfully through the exclusive stories and written scholarship.
