Hi, I'm Skyler, and I believe that financial planning doesn't have to be complex.
I'm a financial planner dedicated to making financial planning simple and easy to understand for young adults.
My Story
Why I started this podcast
How the Podcast Began
When I became a financial planner, I saw how many smart, hardworking young people were completely lost when it came to their finances - not because they weren't capable, but because no one had ever explained it to them clearly.
I started Financial Planning for Young Adults to be the resource I wish I'd had. The kind of straightforward, jargon-free financial education that meets people where they are - whether you're just starting your first job, managing student debt, or finally ready to think about investing.
Credentials and Commitment to Quality Advice
Becoming a financial planner isn't just about passion - it requires meeting rigorous education, exam, experience, and ethics standards. I'm currently working toward my CFP® Certification because I believe that level of commitment matters when it comes to giving advice that's truly in your best interest. Everything I share on this podcast reflects that same commitment to giving you clear, trustworthy guidance.
About the CFP® Certification
The CFP® — Certified Financial Planner — is one of the most widely respected credentials in personal finance. To earn it, candidates must complete a board-registered education program, pass a rigorous 170-question exam covering financial planning, tax, retirement, estate, and insurance topics, accumulate thousands of hours of professional experience, and commit to ongoing ethics requirements. It is not a certification you can shortcut.
By pursuing the CFP® credential, I'm committing to put the best interests of those I serve first. That commitment to your wellbeing over everything else is a core element of the CFP requirements.
