She’s a classically trained pianist who graduated from university with a degree in archaeology and ancient Greek and Latin. However, in 2007 she began working in financial publishing as an editor for Agora Inc. (Apparently, unearthing ideas about improving your personal finances isn’t such a bad career alternative!)
her writing has been featured in Investing Daily, Truth & Plenty, Independence Monthly, NICHE, AmericanStyle, AntiqueWeek, Millennial Money, Money Done Right, TheStreet.com, Sure Dividend, Recreation News, and many others.
She particularly enjoys writing about personal finance, stocks, and real estate, as well as investing in art and antiques.
