Andrea is a CFO, financial mentor, and visionary who dedicates her career to showing each person their innate financial genius and how to make financial wellness a priority. Her radical transparency demystifies money management and takes the fear out of finance. She sets a new standard for our relationships with money so that long-term wealth is stable and feels good. Her commitment to empowering clients is changing how we think about financial peace and security. Money is Andrea’s “thing.” She has a knack for removing the shame, guilt, secrecy, and fear surrounding money using humor, storytelling, and easy-to-identify metaphors. A CFO by training, she built a career path from traditional corporate finance to Money Animal creator, a methodology that engages a person’s financial genius by tapping into the psychology of a person’s money blueprint. Created for her championship-winning professional athletes and top grossing Hollywood entertainer clients, Andrea realized the techniques she used with these ultra-high net worth individuals would work for everyone, regardless of bank-account size. Money Animals combines Andrea’s financial expertise and desire for everyone to have customized money skills and habits for wealth creation. Andrea lives in Southern California with her partner, raising two free-spirited daughters to be bold activists and courageous disruptors of the status quo. In her spare time, she repairs children’s well-worn stuffed animals and blankies so they (and their parents) can sleep better at night. Andrea has a BA in International Economics from UCLA and an MBA in finance and operations from USC Marshall School of Business.
