My interest in finance started as a Junior in high school while working as a bookkeeper for a gym in my hometown: Lawrenceville, Georgia (GO BLACK KNIGHTS!). This work steered me towards studying finance in college at The Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University.

 

I began my career in personal finance, interning for a financial planning firm while in college, which turned into a full-time position after graduation. I studied under 3 CFP® professionals. I learned the intricacies of personal financial planning and enjoyed it!

 

As I started to grow my client base, I realized a large group of people out there were interested in financial planning but couldn't think past their massive amounts of student loan debt. These same folks needed help with budgeting and saving, eager to learn more about good financial management but didn't know where to start.

​

Most traditional financial planning firms are not designed to help people with student loans or work with folks on foundational areas of financial planning. I could fill this need. 

​

I started my practice - Financial Coach Meagan - in March of 2017 to help people with student loans build their 1st financial plan! My financial coaching has helped hundreds of clients achieve their financial goals since then.
