Hi, I’m Ariel.

I come to this work as a feminist and Certified Financial Education Instructor℠. I previously worked as a senior executive at a software company, and I studied economics (and as it happens, art history) at Wellesley College. Finances for Feminists was born at the height of the pandemic when financial stress and uncertainty was at a record peak.

I work with clients to address emotional and tactical aspects of personal finance. We implement concrete action plans that change their relationship to money.
