          Hi, I'm Josefina

           

          I'm currently honing my

          storytelling skills at

          The Wall Street Journal

          and I love helping people

          achieve financial peace.

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

        • Let's talk about money

          If money stresses you out, I know exactly how you feel.

          Poverty almost broke me. Almost.

          Not too long ago, I was the last person who should be giving financial advice. As a first generation college student living on Welfare and in low income housing, raised by a single mother from the Dominican Republic, I somehow convinced my mom to co-sign my student loans, not really understanding what I was getting myself into. A few years later I found myself in between jobs in the recession and decided to go back to school to get an MBA, accumulating even more debt. And after another bout of extended unemployment for good measure, I had less than $800 in my bank account, and owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt. I was broke, overwhelmed, crying constantly, and wondering why I had worked so hard in my life to overcome poverty - just to be more broke.

          This sounds like a sad story. And maybe the roadbumps in your life are different than mine. But in my case, the truth is that it could have been much worse. In just a few years, I was able to climb out of that financial hole and get back on stable footing. More importantly, I was able to get my peace and my sanity back. And I want to help you do the same.

        • Experience

          Whether in finance, financial media, or financial education, I've been in and around the industry for over a decade. I know firsthand that there's a ton of smoke and mirrors when it comes to managing your own money: conflicting information and unqualified financial advisors, plus predatory practices from banks and lenders - so my goal is make sure that you're getting the very best advice - advice that works for you.

        • I IMAGINE A WORLD...

          ...where financial know-how is readily available and it's impact is passed down for generations. And where financial education slowly erases economic inequality, enabling macro implications for the economy as a whole, and micro implications for the financial well-being of individual households.
