Author Information

While working in the financial services industry, Dr. Angela K. Love discovered that many teens and adults were like her when she was in high school and college; a young person without the skills and knowledge to manage her money. Angela found herself struggling financially as she entered the adult world and was financially responsible for herself. She quickly realized she did not know how to write a check, balance a checkbook, or create a budget. Also, Angela has discovered that many kids receive very little to no education in money management, and adults are often stressed about finances which negatively impacts their relationships and day-to-day lives. Today, Angela is sharing her knowledge with kids, teens, and adults to help turn financial stress into success. Dr. Angela K. Love has a Bachelor in Business Administration - Finance and Management and an MBA - Accounting from Columbia College. She also has a Doctor in Business Administration - Finance from Walden University. Her professional experience, educational background, and unique perspective have fueled her desire to provide monetary educational materials for kids, teens, and adults.
