Judy is a money coach who is obsessed with talking about money and putting people on the path to financial freedom.
After growing up with a vulnerable immigrant mother and experiencing financial abuse from her father – and later accumulating a lot of credit card debt in her 20s – Judy decided to take the reins of her life to steer her down the path of financial wellness. Now, she draws from her own experiences to help others do the same.
Coming from a background as a union organizer – fighting for low wage workers to get better salaries and benefits – Judy now loves coaching women and couples to pay off debts, negotiate down the cost of literally anything, create ‘escape funds’ to leave their jobs or their own financial abuse situations, maximize their finances.
Some of the things Judy loves to shout about on her platform include:
Judy was featured in the New York Times alongside various millennials, sharing their money stories. She talked about the financial struggles she has experienced, as well as her successes; like paying off $11,000 in credit card debt and saving $20,000 during a no spend year.
"A personal finance coach and former union organizer says that you shouldn't listen to critics who say that ethical investing isn't a viable way to grow wealth, and that the ESG space is only expanding.
