Hi, I'm Chelle Gonzo, and I can help you answer these questions. As a financial coach, my super power is turning complex money topics into simple, understandable ideas. After working in the financial industry for years, it became clear to me that brilliant people sometimes can't explain things to the rest of us - and it makes us feel slow. But we are not slow, we just need a translator. Someone who speaks our language and doesn't judge.

Always a creative writer, I graduated from the University of Minnesota years ago with a Journalism degree and a curious mind. The job market was challenging and, to my surprise, I landed a job in financial services. Not for my knowledge, but for my writing ability, interviewing skills, and willingness to learn. I soon found myself explaining what a mutual fund is, ways to save for retirement, and how to start investing.
