About Us

I’m a consultant, an educator, and an entrepreneur. My mission is to provide resources to women that help them make good financial decisions and to provide financial professionals who can help them plan for a wonderful financial future.

I created Purse Strings to help women become financially fearless by learning what they need to know to make the right financial decisions for themselves and their families.

I also want to partner women with the right financial provider. One that is eager to serve a powerful female market. One that has been trained and vetted by Purse Strings to provide the right products and the unique service women want.

Purse Strings Model

I created the Purse Strings Model which demonstrates how we provide tools and resources for women, online and at their fingertips 24×7. When women are ready and need financial products or services, my goal is to ensure they are working with financial professionals who take the time to focus on their unique needs. That’s a Purse Strings Approved professional.

When financial professionals learn how to serve the female market, they become the go-to referral when women reach out for advice. Most people only have one name for referrals – which could be you! That expert has earned their trust as an indispensable advocate. Becoming a Purse Strings-approved professional does just that.

How We Got Started

I went through a divorce and even though I was a consultant in the financial industry I made some financial mistakes that cost me. I saw other women making the same mistakes - or even worse. And, many had questions about how they were going to ever retire.

I've seen it, and you have too, women of retirement age working at the grocery store or driving Uber just to make ends meet.

I didn't want this for me or for any women. I know that we are smart, strong and powerful market. We just needed access to resources we never had.

After a lot of research and input from women asking them what they needed to feel confident to make the best financial decisions - I built it. Now women have a trusted resource at their finger-tips where they can access free tools and resources and an available-for-hire director of vetted resources geared to serve women. (Like an Angi's list of financial professionals for women!)
