Hi! I’m Myriam, a Brooklyn-based personal finance reporter. Previously as a financial advisor and coach, I worked with over 150 (!!) clients across the wealth spectrum. I’ve since turned my passion for writing financial plans into writing online for outlets like Morning Brew and MarketWatch.
But let’s keep it real – financial wellness is an uphill battle thanks to systemic economic issues. Still, I’m committed to converting doomers into doers. It’s about balance, people!
