About Lesley
I've been investing since I was 2 days old. Granted, I wasn't able to choose which funds went into my custodial account, but I was raised by parents who regularly discussed investing. They were also passionate about community service and sharing knowledge and time with others.
- In college, I helped classmates understand interest rates, credit and debt.
- In 2017, a conversation with a co-worker about their disinterest in contributing to the company 401k led to my launch of the Slalom Investment Special Interest Group (SIG), a collaborative finance education club. The investment SIG has grown from around 40 in 2017 to over 200 today.
- This year (2024), I co-founded a local women's financial literacy book club, and I also started this financial literacy blog!
